A world of choicesIn addition to these features and benefits, Multi-Fund also offers a comprehensive lineup of investment options. This means you have the flexibility you need to build a diversified portfolio. Research indicates that diversification means more to investment returns over time than any other factor.1 With Multi-Fund variable annuity, you may choose from an array of investment options across the major asset classes — stock-based funds, bond-based funds, fixed/guaranteed, money market options — brought to you from a number of leading money managers. This booklet is a convenient guide to the wide range of investment options available to you.

Make smart choicesOver the years, Multi-Fund ® variable annuity has earned its reputation as a leading retirement planning solution, offering strength, experience, education and confidence to you for years to come.

A variable annuity is a long-term investment product designed particularly for retirement purposes. Variable annuities contain both investment and insurance components, and have fees and charges, including mortality and expense, administrative and advisory fees. Optional guarantee features are available for an additional charge and are backed by the financial strength of the insurer. The annuity’s value fluctuates with the market value of the underlying investment options, and all assets accumulate tax-deferred.

One of the most valuable features of an annuity is the opportunity to turn it into a guaranteed income stream for the rest of your life — annuities are among the few investment products to offer this. Several lifetime income options are available with Multi-Fund , some of which are so unique Lincoln has patented them.

Annuities can also offer many other benefits, some of which cannot be found in other types of investment products. They include:

Tax-deferral on your contributions

until they are withdrawn

Valuable death benefit protection options for your

loved ones

Access to a variety of investment share classes

Tax-free transfers between investment

options

Surround yourself with a

strong teamMulti-Fund ® variable annuity offers you the diversity and flexibility to help meet your specific retirement planning strategy. You can choose from a variety of investment styles that best suit your goals and objectives.

Multi-Fund draws upon the expertise of numerous leading investment firms. Each manager has a distinctive approach and the experience of having weathered financial markets of every type. This multimanager approach provides a single communications channel with consistent monitoring and reporting across all accounts. As a result, you receive more timely and consistent information about all your investment accounts from a single source.

The Multi-Fund investment teamThese companies were selected for inclusion in the Multi-Fund variable annuity because they are respected and experienced investment managers whose track records and reputations are among the best in the financial services industry. They don’t rest on their success. Rather, they build upon it.

Take a disciplined approachThe Lincoln Investment Advisors team is responsible for reviewing, analyzing, and overseeing the investment options offered within Multi-Fund®. Lincoln strives to provide plan sponsors and participants with access to quality investment options that help them achieve retirement goals.

Lincoln Investment Advisors applies a well-defined due diligence process to all funds before recommending them for inclusion as investment options in Lincoln variable products. This ongoing effort supports our multimanager approach, which expands the investment choices available through Multi-Fund®. Each potential investment undergoes a rigorous review as the team:

• Conducts proprietary quantitative and qualitative research• Compares an investment option with its peers and benchmark, and

risk-adjusted returns• Reviews portfolio characteristics and style drift• Makes on-site visits with fund companies

These activities contribute to a thorough understanding of the portfolio manager’s qualifications, investment processes and research capabilities.

Asset allocation models — fund of funds approach We offer a dynamic fund of funds allocation approach, which diversifies among various asset classes within a product. These asset allocation models provide you with diversification and the insight and experience of well-recognized investment industry leaders by:

• Creating one portfolio with a combination of portfolio managers, each an expert with a specific style and approach.

• Constructing each model from a wide assortment of asset classes to suit specific risk-reward objectives or target maturity date.

• Dynamically adjusting and rebalancing the overall portfolio for a more consistent approach.

• Offering you the simplicity and convenience of one professionally designed portfolio to meet your diversification and investment needs.

To be most effective, you should select an asset allocation model most closely aligned with your particular risk-reward tolerance or target maturity date. Ultimately, asset allocation helps reduce investment risk while seeking to enhance potential returns through a disciplined, long-term strategy. However, it does not ensure a profit or guarantee against a loss.

Consider all the optionsThe risk pyramid and investment option categories are designed to help you make the choices that fit your investment style. The investment pyramid illustrates the risk and potential return of each objective. As you move upward toward the highest level of the pyramid, the investment options within each objective provide you an increasing opportunity for higher returns. However, with greater return potential comes greater risk.

Investment option categoriesThe style box illustration is designed to help you plan and maintain a diversified portfolio. Each investment option has been assigned to a specific style box on the basis of its current investment style. Investment styles may change over time. Not all of the investment options within each category box may have the same characteristics, but hopefully this illustration will help you to determine how one investment option compares to the others available to you.

Value: A value orientation focuses on stocks that the manager thinks are currently undervalued in price and believes will eventually see their worth recognized by the market. These managers are often referred to as price-driven investors because they focus on stocks with low price/earnings ratios and/or above-average dividend yields as indicators of value.

Blend: A blend portfolio will mix the growth and value philosophies. This portfolio may contain growth stocks and value stocks, or it may contain stocks that exhibit both characteristics.

Growth: A growth-oriented portfolio will mostly contain companies that its portfolio manager believes have the potential to increase earnings faster than the rest of the market. These managers are generally willing to pay higher market multiples for the superior

growth rates and profitability they anticipate. As a result, stocks in growth portfolios will tend to have higher price/earnings ratios and will generally pay little or no dividends.

Fixed-income style: The vertical axis shows the credit quality of the long bonds owned; the horizontal axis shows interest rate sensitivity as measured by a bond’s effective duration.

Duration: Short-range maturity (S) is up to 3½ years. Intermediate-range maturity (I) is 3½ years to 6 years. Long-range maturity (L) is greater than 6 years.

Because Multi-Fund ® variable annuity has multiple investment options to choose from, you can customize your choices to fit your needs and change them easily when your needs change.

* Asset allocation does not ensure a profit nor protect against loss in a declining market.

† The target allocation to underlying funds is 80% or more of the Protected Profile Fund’s assets under normal market conditions.The Morningstar Style Box reveals a fund’s investment strategy as of the date noted on this report. For equity funds the vertical axis shows the market capitalization of the long stocks owned and the horizontal axis shows investment style (value, blend, or growth). For fixed-income funds, the vertical axis shows the credit quality of the long bonds owned and the horizontal axis shows interest rate sensitivity as measured by a bond’s effective duration. For corporate and municipal bonds, Morningstar surveys credit rating information from fund companies on a periodic basis (e.g., quarterly). In compiling credit rating information, Morningstar instructs fund companies to only use ratings that have been assigned by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO). If two NRSROs have rated a security, fund companies are to report the lowest rating to Morningstar. If a rating is unavailable or unpublished, then the security or issuer is categorized as Not Rated/Not Available. U.S. Government Securities issued by the U.S. Treasury or U.S. Government Agencies are included in the U.S. Government category. PLEASE NOTE: Morningstar, Inc. is not itself an NRSRO nor does it issue a credit rating on the Fund. An NRSRO rating on a fixed-income security can change from time to time.

1 The Fixed Account is part of the general assets of The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company.

2 An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

3 Investing internationally involves risks not associated with investing solely in the United States, such as currency fluctuation, political risk, differences in accounting and the limited availability of information.

4 Funds that invest in small and/or mid-size company stocks typically involve greater risk, particularly in the short term, than those investing in larger, more established companies.

5 Funds that concentrate investments in one region or industry may carry greater risk than more broadly diversified funds.

6 REITs involve risks such as refinancing, economic conditions in the real estate industry, changes in property values, dependency on real estate management, and other risks associated with a portfolio that concentrates its investments in one sector or geographic region.

7 An index is unmanaged, and one cannot invest directly in an index.

8 High yield portfolios may invest in high-yield or lower rated fixed-income securities (junk bonds), which may experience higher volatility and increased risk of non-payment or default.

9 Each Fund is operated as a fund of funds which invests primarily in other funds rather than in individual securities. Funds of this nature may be more expensive than other investment options.

12Investments in Delaware Investments VIP® Series , Delaware Funds, LVIP Delaware Funds or Lincoln Life accounts managed by Delaware Investment Advisors, a series of Delaware Management Business Trust,

are not and will not be deposits with or liabilities of Macquarie Bank Limited ABN 46008 583 542 and its holding companies, including their subsidiaries or related companies, and are subject to investment risk, including possible delays in prepayment and loss of income and capital invested. No Macquarie Group company guarantees or will guarantee the performance of the Series or Funds, the repayment of capital from the Series or Funds, the repayment of capital from the Series or Funds or account, or any particular rate of return.

13The target date is the approximate date when investors plan to retire or start withdrawing their money. Some target-date funds make no changes in asset allocations after the target date is reached; other target-date funds continue to make asset allocation changes following the target date (see prospectus for the Fund’s allocation strategy). The principal value is not guaranteed at any time, including at the target date.

14Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the lineup are available through collective trusts or mutual funds. Investors cannot invest directly in an ETF.

15Floating rate funds should not be considered alternatives to CDs or money market funds, and should not be considered cash alternatives.

16The return of principal in bond portfolios is not guaranteed. Bond portfolios have the same interest rate, inflation, credit, prepayment and market risks that are associated with the underlying bonds owned by the Fund (or account).

17The Fund’s protection substrategy is not a guarantee, and the Fund’s shareholders may experience losses. The Fund employs hedging strategies designed to provide for downside protection during sharp downward movements in equity markets. The cost of these hedging strategies could limit the upside participation of the Fund in rising equity markets relative to other unhedged funds.

18The Fund’s RPM strategy is not a guarantee, and the Fund’s shareholders may experience losses. The Fund employs hedging strategies designed to manage overall portfolio volatility. The cost of these hedging strategies could limit the upside participation of the Fund in rising equity markets relative to unhedged funds.

1 The Fixed Account is part of the general assets of The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company.

2 An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

3 Investing internationally involves risks not associated with investing solely in the United States, such as currency fluctuation, political risk, differences in accounting and the limited availability of information.

4 Funds that invest in small- and/or mid-size company stocks typically involve greater risk, particularly in the short term, than those investing in larger, more established companies.

5 Funds that concentrate investments in one region or industry may carry greater risk than more broadly diversified funds.

6 REITs involve risks such as refinancing, economic conditions in the real estate industry, changes in property values, dependency on real estate management, and other risks associated with a portfolio that concentrates its investments in one sector or geographic region.

7 An index is unmanaged, and one cannot invest directly in an index. 8 High-yield portfolios may invest in high-yield or lower rated fixed-income securities

(junk bonds), which may experience higher volatility and increased risk of nonpayment or default.

9 Each Fund is operated as a fund of funds which invests primarily in other funds rather than in individual securities. Funds of this nature may be more expensive than other investment options.

11 Investing in emerging markets can be riskier than investing in well-established foreign markets. International investing involves special risks not found in domestic investing, including increased political, social and economic instability.

12Investments in Delaware Investments VIP® Series , Delaware Funds, LVIP Delaware Funds or Lincoln Life accounts managed by Delaware Investment Advisors, a series of Delaware Management Business Trust, are not and will not be deposits with or liabilities of Macquarie Bank Limited ABN 46008 583 542 and its holding companies, including their subsidiaries or related companies, and are subject to investment risk, including possible delays in prepayment and loss of income and capital invested. No Macquarie Group company guarantees or will guarantee the performance of the Series or Funds, the repayment of capital from the Series or Funds, the repayment of capital from the Series or Funds or account, or any particular rate of return.

13 The target date is the approximate date when investors plan to retire or start withdrawing their money. Some target-date funds make no changes in asset allocations after the target date is reached; other target-date funds continue to make asset allocation changes following the target date (see prospectus for the Fund’s allocation strategy). The principal value is not guaranteed at any time, including at the target date.

14Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the lineup are available through collective trusts or mutual funds. Investors cannot invest directly in an ETF.

15Floating rate funds should not be considered alternatives to CDs or money market funds and should not be considered cash alternatives.

16The return of principal in bond portfolios is not guaranteed. Bond portfolios have the same interest rate, inflation, credit, prepayment and market risks that are associated with the underlying bonds owned by the Fund (or account).

17The Fund’s protection substrategy is not a guarantee, and the Fund’s shareholders may experience losses. The Fund employs hedging strategies designed to provide for downside protection during sharp downward movements in equity markets. The cost of these hedging strategies could limit the upside participation of the Fund in rising equity markets relative to other unhedged funds.

18The Fund’s RPM strategy is not a guarantee, and the Fund’s shareholders may experience losses. The Fund employs hedging strategies designed to manage overall portfolio volatility. The cost of these hedging strategies could limit the upside participation of the Fund in rising equity markets relative to unhedged funds.
