The chart above shows the historical performance of the Prudential Series Fund, the Advanced Series Trust, and outside fund investment option Subaccounts, of Pruco Life's Variable Universal Account ("The Accounts") and Pruco Life of New Jersey's Variable Appreciable Account (also "The Accounts"). The Accounts are available through Pruco Life's VUL ProtectorSM insurance policies.
The average annual total returns reflect the reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains, and the deduction of investment management fees, expenses, as well as VUL ProtectorSM's specific Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. The returns do not reflect other life insurance policy charges (sales, administration, and actual cost of insurance) nor any applicable surrender or lapse charges, which would significantly lower the stated returns. For these returns, we assume, hypothetically, that the contract was allocated each underlying portfolio from the date the portfolio was first made available through the separate account that supports your variable life policy or, in cases in which the portfolio was created after the separate account, from the portfolio inception date. You may obtain a personalized illustration of historical performance, from your licensed financial professional, which reflects the cost of your policy's insurance protection.
PLEASE REVIEW THIS MATERIAL WITH A CURRENT PROSPECTUS AND PRODUCT MATERIAL (Product brochure/Information or Illustration).
Investors should consider the contract and the underlying portfolios' investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses carefully before investing. The contract's prospectus and the underlying portfolio prospectus contain information relating to investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses as well as other important information. You should read the prospectuses carefully before investing.
An investment in the Prudential Series Fund Money Market Portfolio is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Portfolio seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $10.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Portfolio.
With respect to the SP Portfolios of The Prudential Series Fund, Inc., the Portfolio's investment manager (Prudential Investments LLC) is absorbing a portion of the expenses of certain portfolios. That expense absorption may be discontinued at any time. Absent such expense absorption, the performance quoted would be lower. Performance returns without the expense absorption are available without charge upon request from your variable life and variable annuity customer service call centers.
1Effective April 29, 2011, the following investment option changes took effect. The Prudential Series Fund SP Growth Asset Allocation Portfolio merged into the Advanced Series Trust (AST) BlackRock Global Strategies Portfolio. The AST Aggressive Asset Allocation Portfolio was renamed the AST Wellington Management Hedged Equity Portfolio.
The Prudential Series Fund and Advanced Series Trust(AST) investment portfolios are available to the public only through variable life and variable annuity contracts. The performance of these portfolios is not related to that of any other retail mutual funds, despite any similarities in their names, investment objectives or policies.
Life insurance policies contain exclusions, limitations, reductions of benefits, and terms for keeping them in force. For cost and complete details for coverage, contact your licensed financial professional or refer to the prospectus.
