The Portfolio Operating Expenses Table shows the annual operating expenses
separately for each portfolio (also referred to as the fund) for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2006.  The table below shows the Total Annual Portfolio
Operating Expenses and for those portfolios where a contractual agreement to

We  have agreements with each of the fund managers that describe the
administrative practices and responsibilities of the parties. To the extent
it performs services for the fund, Symetra Life may receive an asset based
administrative fee from the fund's advisor or distributor.  These fees may be
up to 0.30% per year and may depend on the amount we have invested in the
portfolios.  In addition, the funds may make payments to Symetra Life or its
affiliates pursuant to a distribution and/or servicing plan adopted by the
fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940.  Such
distribution or "12b-1" fees are disclosed in the table below.
