National Security offers Managed Volatility Portfolios (MVPs) within its NScore individual variable annuity lineup. MVPs seek to provide solutions for investing in today’s uneven markets by employing volatility management strategies. They combine traditional asset allocation concepts along with active management strategies, which may allow for better volatility management.

Features of the MVPs include:

• Help reduce the impact of market downturns - Because volatility is often a leading indicator of negative market performance, an allocation to the MVPs may help reduce the impact of market downturns. As a result, you could be better positioned for future recovery.
• Goal is to provide more consistent returns over time - When you’re navigating the risks of today’s markets, diversification alone may not be enough to protect your gains and give you peace of mind. The MVPs seek to reduce extreme market volatility. While market gains may also be reduced, managing downside volatility may result in more consistent, predictable returns over time. This, in turn, may provide for a higher Contract Value over the long term by allowing you to take advantage of the effects of compounding.

Each MVP is carefully constructed and managed with risk mitigation as a top priority.

Variable annuities are sold by prospectuses, which contain more complete information including fees, surrender charges (contingent deferred sales charges) and other costs that may apply.

To obtain current prospectuses, contact your financial professional or visit nslac.com. Please read the product and fund prospectuses carefully before you invest or send money. Investors should consider the investment objectives, strategies, risk factors, charges and expenses of the underlying variable portfolios carefully before investing. The fund prospectus contains this and other information about the underlying variable portfolios.

Early withdrawals or surrenders may be subject to surrender charges. Withdrawals are also subject to ordinary income tax and, if taken prior to age 59½, a 10% federal tax penalty may apply. For tax purposes only, withdrawals will come first from any gain in the contract. Federal and state tax laws in this area are complex and subject to change. Consult your personal tax adviser on all tax matters. Withdrawals may reduce the death benefit, cash surrender value and any living benefit amount.

There is no additional tax-deferral benefit for contracts purchased in an IRA or other tax-qualified plan because these are already afforded tax-deferred status. An annuity should only be purchased in an IRA or qualified plan if the contract owner values some of the other features of the annuity and is willing to incur any additional costs associated with the annuity.

Variable annuities are long-term investment vehicles designed to accumulate money on a tax-deferred basis for retirement purposes. Upon retirement, variable annuities may pay out an income stream of a series of payments or a lump sum. If you die during the accumulation or payout phase, your beneficiary may be eligible to receive any remaining Contract Value.

Guarantees are based upon the claims-paying ability of National Security Life and Annuity Company. Guarantees do not apply to the investment performance or account value of the underlying variable portfolios. As with any investment, investing in variable portfolios involves risk, including possible loss of principal.
