The ranking of asset classes (with the exception of the Fixed Account) is based on an analysis by SPIAS. In determining the ranking, discrete indices, which do not necessarily include the funding options offered by MetLife Insurance Company of Connecticut, served as proxies for each of the asset classes. Risk is based upon volatility, determined by computing the average standard deviations of monthly returns over rolling five year periods between 1991 and 2006. SPIAS makes no representation as to the performance of the available funding options relative to the index for their respective asset classes. Other methodologies for ranking asset classes may produce different results. Since past performance of investments is not necessarily indicative of their future results, no assurance can be given that the ranking of asset classes shown here will correspond to rankings in the future. Standard & Poor s Investment Advisory Services LLC ( SPIAS ) serves as a consultant to MetLife Advisers, LLC for the Asset Allocation Portfolios. SPIAS does not provide investment advice to MetLife s underlying clients or have any discretionary authority or control with respect to purchasing or selling securities and does not act as a fiduciary or investment manager as defined under ERISA to any investor. SPIAS makes no warranties, express or implied as to results to be obtained from the information provided by it and neither SPIAS nor its affiliates endorse, sell or promote this product or make any recommendations as to advisability of investing in it. MetLife Advisers, LLC, the investment manager of the asset allocation portfolios, chooses the underlying funding options for each Portfolio and the proportions of each underlying funding option within the Portfolio. MORE AGGRESSIVE* Higher Potential Reward Higher Potential Volatility * Within each asset class, funds listed alphabetically, not in risk/reward order, based upon portfolio s legal name. ** The asset allocation portfolios are fund of funds portfolios. Because of this two tier structure, each asset allocation portfolio bears its own investment management fee and expenses as well as its pro-rata share of the investment management fee and expenses of the underlying portfolios. The Contract Owner may be able to realize lower aggregate expenses by investing directly in the underlying portfolios instead of investing in the asset allocation portfolios.

Fixed Account The Fixed Account provides a fixed interest rate of return. This rate is guaranteed for one year following each initial purchase payment into the Fixed Account. At the end of the initial guarantee period, the first renewal rate will be guaranteed through the end of that calendar year. The second and all future renewal rates will be declared each subsequent January 1, and guaranteed through December 31 of each year.

The technology industry can be significantly affected by obsolescence, short product cycles, falling prices and profits, and competition from new market participants. Funding choices that primarily invest in one sector are more volatile than those that diversify across many industry sectors and companies.
