Retirement Cornerstone 17 Series B. Variable Annuity

Retirement Cornerstone 17 Series B Variable Annuity PROTECTED BENEFIT ACCOUNT INVESTMENT OPTIONS Retirement Cornerstone Series B is a combination variable and fixed annuity deferred contract issued by AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company (New York, NY) and is designed to help people to contribute toward their retirement. Annuities are long-term financial products designed for retirement purposes. The variable investment options shown below are not the only ones available in the Retirement Cornerstone product. Please refer to the prospectus for further information. The investment options listed below are available through the Retirement Cornerstone variable annuity. Retirement Cornerstone 17 contains two distinct accounts within a single tax-deferred product, providing an innovative, comprehensive approach to managing retirement needs. The Protected Benefit Account funds the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB). The GMIB, an optional rider available for an additional fee, ensures you will be able to generate lifetime income no matter how your investment portfolios perform, and no matter how long you live, as long as you stay within certain withdrawal guidelines. The Account (not shown) offers an extensive platform of investment options from well-known investment managers. As your needs change over the years, you can simply transfer assets from the Account to the Protected Benefit Account. Transfers from the Protected Benefit Account to the Account are not allowed. The investment options available in the Protected Benefit Account are also available in the Account. Please keep this information in mind when reviewing the performance information on the accompanying pages: The performance data represents past performance, which is not an estimate, indication or guarantee of future results. Rates of return and principal will fluctuate and units may be worth more or less than your original contribution when redeemed. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Individuals cannot invest directly in an index. The Annualized Monthly Rates of Return performance shown below reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and deduction of all annuity contract fees and charges except the withdrawal charges and the annual administrative charge.

Performance data DOES NOT reflect any expenses or charges associated with owning a Retirement Cornerstone variable annuity. When such charges are deducted, actual investment performance will be lower. performance is compared to primary broad market indices and blended benchmarks that reflect the types of securities in which these portfolios may invest. Since market indices have no fees, portfolio performance excludes variable annuity contract-related fees and expenses which are reflected in the preceding charts. Variable annuity contract-related fees and expenses pay for certain features and benefits that are not typically associated with actively managing and operating the portfolios. Excluding these fees allows investors to focus solely on the performance history of each portfolio after the ongoing costs of investing in these portfolios, such as management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees and other portfolio expenses, are reflected. Benchmark Definitions. Blended benchmarks reflect a mix of broad market indices that represent the different asset classes in which each portfolio invests, based on their target allocation among these asset classes. The benchmarks are rebalanced monthly.

All investments options involve risk, including possible loss of principal. Fixed income securities are subject to interest rate, credit, inflation, and reinvestment risk. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities falls. In rapidly declining markets, significant losses will likely occur. Conversely, when markets are rapidly accelerating, market appreciation may not be fully realized due to the fund s more conservative allocation. Equity securities are subject to price fluctuation and possible loss of principal. International investments are subject to special risks including currency fluctuations, social, economic and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. Small- and midcap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks. s may include exchange-traded funds ( ETFs ), and in addition to the fund s operating expenses, you will indirectly bear the operating expenses of any underlying fund. Unlike the possible loss on a security that is purchased, there is no limit on the amount of loss on an appreciating security that is sold short. Options and other derivatives, such as futures, can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on fund performance. U.S. Treasuries are direct debt obligations issued by the U.S. government and backed by its full faith and credit. The U.S. government guarantees the principal and interest payments on U.S. Treasuries when the securities are held to maturity. s may feature AXA Equitable s proprietary managed-volatility strategy (or may invest in underlying portfolios that Page 5 of 6

feature this strategy) that currently utilizes futures and options to manage equity exposure when market volatility increases above specific thresholds set for the portfolio. It is not possible to manage volatility fully or perfectly, which could cause these portfolios to underperform or experience losses. What is a Variable Annuity? A variable annuity is a long-term, tax-deferred accumulation product. In its most basic terms, an annuity is a contract between you and an insurance company to accumulate funds and then to provide lifetime payments. A variable annuity allows you to adopt a personal investment strategy to allocate your investment among a range of investment portfolio options. An annuity contract has two phases: An accumulation phase, which allows tax-deferred growth potential, and an annuitization phase, when you withdraw your money plus any earnings your annuity has accumulated. There are fees and charges associated with variable annuities, which include, but are not limited to, mortality and expense risk charges, sales and surrender charges, administrative fees, and additional charges for optional benefits. Withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax and, if made prior to age 59 ½, may be subject to an additional 10% federal income tax penalty. Amounts in the annuity's variable investment options are subject to fluctuation in value and market risk, including loss of principal. Annuities contain limitations and restrictions. For costs and complete details contact a financial professional. The Retirement Cornerstone 17 variable annuity is issued by AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company(NY,NY). Co-distributed by affiliates AXA Advisors, LLC and AXA Distributors, LLC (members FINRA, SIPC). Certain types of contracts, features and benefits may not be available in all jurisdictions. This document must be preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus. Please consider the charges, risks, expenses, and investment objectives carefully before purchasing a variable annuity or making an investment option selection. AXA Equitable may discontinue contributions and transfers among investment options or make other changes in contribution and transfer requirements and limitations. If we discontinue contributions and transfers into the Protected Benefit Account, you will no longer be able to fund your guaranteed benefits.
