                                 APRIL 20, 2000


This joint proxy statement is furnished in connection  with the  solicitation by
the Board of Managers (the  "Managers" or "Board") of JNL Variable Fund LLC, JNL
Variable  Fund III LLC and JNL Variable  Fund V LLC  (together,  the "Funds") of
proxies to be voted at a joint special Meeting of holders of interest ("Interest
holders") of JNL/First  Trust The Dow Target 5 Series,  JNL/First  Trust The Dow

FUND LLC,  JNL/First Trust The Dow Target 10 Series of JNL VARIABLE FUND III LLC
and  JNL/First  Trust  The Dow  Target  10  Series  of JNL  VARIABLE  FUND V LLC
(collectively referred to herein as the "Series"), to be held on April 20, 2000,
at 11:00 a.m.,  local time,  in the  offices of the Funds'  investment  adviser,
Jackson National Financial Services, LLC (the "Adviser"),  5901 Executive Drive,
Lansing,  Michigan 48911, and at any adjournments  thereof, for the purposes set
forth in the  accompanying  Notice of Joint Special Meeting of Interest  Holders
(the "Notice").

The Notice,  this Proxy Statement and the accompanying voting instructions cards
were first  mailed to  variable  annuity  contract  owners on or about March 31,
2000.

The Board of  Managers  of each Fund has  determined  that the use of this joint
Proxy  Statement  for each  Fund is in the best  interest  of each  Fund and its
investors in light of the same matters being considered and voted on by the
Interest holders. The cost of preparing,  printing and mailing the Notice, Proxy
Statement,  and accompanying  voting  instructions  card, and all other costs in
connection  with the  solicitation  of proxies will be paid by the Adviser or an
affiliate thereof. In addition to the mailing of these proxy materials,  proxies
may be solicited by letter,  telephone or electronic means such as e-mail, or in
person by an officer of the Fund,  by  officers or  employees  of the Adviser or
officers,  agents or  employees  of  Jackson  National  Life  Insurance  Company
("Jackson National").


VOTING INSTRUCTIONS

Each Fund is organized  as a Delaware  limited  liability  company and, as such,
does not issue  shares of stock.  Instead,  ownership  rights are  contained  in
membership interests (the "Interests"). Interests of the Series are sold only to
separate  accounts of Jackson  National to fund the benefits of variable annuity
contracts issued by Jackson  National.  Although Jackson  National,  through its
separate  accounts,  legally  owns all of the  Interests  of each  Series of the
Funds,  Jackson  National will vote all such  Interests in  accordance  with the
voting  instructions  timely  given by the  owners  ("Contract  owners")  of the
contracts with assets invested in a Series of the Fund.  Because Contract owners
are indirectly  invested in one or more Series through their  contracts and have
the right to instruct  Jackson National how to vote Interests of these Series on
all  matters  requiring  a vote of  Interest  holders,  Contract  owners  should
consider  themselves  Interest  holders for  purposes  of this Proxy  Statement.
Contract  owners at the close of  business on  February  25,  2000 (the  "record
date")  will be  entitled  to  notice of the  Meeting  and to  instruct  Jackson
National how to vote at the Meeting or any adjourned session.

Contract owners may use the voting instructions card as a ballot to give Jackson
National  the voting  instructions  for those  Interests  attributable  to their
contracts as of the record date.  When the Contract  owner  completes the voting
instructions card and sends it to Jackson  National,  Jackson National votes the
Interests attributable to the variable annuity contract of the Contract owner in
accordance with the Contract owner's instructions.  If the Contract owner merely
signs and returns the form,  Jackson National will vote those Interests in favor
of the  proposal.  If the  Contract  owner  does not  return  the form,  Jackson
National  will vote those  Interests in the same  proportion as shares for which
instructions  were received from other  Contract  owners.  Jackson  National has
fixed the close of business  on April 17,  2000 as the last day on which  voting
instructions will be accepted.

Any  authorized  voting  instructions  will be valid for any  adjournment of the
Meeting. If the management of the Funds receives an insufficient number of votes
to  approve  the  proposals,   the  Meeting  may  be  adjourned  to  permit  the
solicitation of additional  votes.  Those persons named as proxies in the voting
instructions have the discretion to vote for any such adjournment.  The approval
of the proposal  depends  upon whether a sufficient  number of votes is cast for
the proposal. Accordingly, an instruction to abstain from voting on any proposal
has the same practical effect as an instruction to vote against the proposal.

Any person  giving  voting  instructions  may  revoke  them at any time prior to
exercising them by submitting to the Secretary of the Fund, a superseding voting
instruction  card or  written  notice of  revocation.  Only the  Contract  owner
executing the voting  instructions  can revoke them.  Jackson National will vote
the  Interests  of the  Series  of the  Funds in  accordance  with all  properly
executed and unrevoked voting instructions.

As of February 25, 2000,  there were issued and outstanding the following number

Meeting  will be counted  for the purpose of  calculating  the votes cast on the
issue before the Meeting.

Each Interest in a Series is entitled to one vote and  fractional  votes will be
counted.  The number of  Interests of a Series  attributable  to each owner of a
contract is determined by dividing, as of the record date, the value of the
accumulation units under the contract in the corresponding  investment option by
the net asset value of one Interest of the applicable Series.


                        PROPOSAL 1. ELECTION OF MANAGERS

Each Fund may, but is not required to, hold annual meetings of Interest  holders
for the election of  Managers.  The three  individuals  named in the table below
have been  nominated for election as Managers,  each to hold office until his or
her  successor  is duly  elected  and has  qualified.  None of the  nominees  is
currently a Manager of any Fund.

At a Board  meeting of each of the Funds held on February 10,  2000,  each Board
approved  resolutions  calling for this Special Meeting of Interest  holders for
the purpose of electing the  nominees.  The three current  independent  Managers
intend to  submit  their  resignations  to take  effect  upon the  election  and
installation of their successors.

An Interest holder using the enclosed voting  instruction card may authorize the
proxies to vote for all or any of the nominees or may withhold  from the proxies
authority  to vote  for all or any of the  nominees.  Each of the  nominees  has
consented to his or her nomination  and has agreed to serve if elected.  If, for
any reason, any nominee should not be available for election or be able to serve
as a Manager,  the proxies  will  exercise  their  voting power in favor of such
substitute nominee, if any, as each Fund's Board of Managers may designate.  The
Funds  have no  reason to  believe  that it will be  necessary  to  designate  a
substitute  nominee.  In the  event a  vacancy  occurs on the Board by reason of
death,  resignation or a reason other than removal by the Interest holders,  the
remaining  Managers  shall  appoint a person to fill the  vacancy for the entire
unexpired term.

When an  investment  company  does not hold  regular  annual  meetings,  it is a
requirement  under the Investment  Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") that holders
of  record  of not  less  than  two-thirds  of  the  outstanding  shares  of the
investment  company may file a  declaration  in writing or may vote at a special
meeting of Interest  holders  for the  purpose of removing a Manager.  The Board
will be required to promptly call a special meeting of Interest  holders for the
purpose of voting  upon the  question  of removal  of any such  Manager(s)  when
required  to do so by the  record  holders  of not less  than  10% of the  total
outstanding  shares of each Fund.  In  addition,  the Board will comply with the
requirements  of Section  16(c) of the 1940 Act with  respect to  communications
with Interest holders.

The  following is a list of the names,  ages and  principal  occupations  of the
nominees for the Board:

Managers who are "interested persons" under the 1940 Act receive no compensation
from  the  Fund  but  receive  compensation  from  the  Adviser  pursuant  to an
administration  agreement  between  the  Fund  and  the  Adviser.  Disinterested
Managers  will be paid  $5,000 for each  meeting  of a Fund.  Each  nominee,  if
elected, will be a Disinterested Manager.

During  the last  fiscal  year,  each  Fund's  Board held four  meetings.  It is
management's  intention  to have  the  Board of  Managers  appoint  a new  Audit
Committee  for each Fund at each Fund's next Board  meeting  scheduled  for May,
2000,  after the election of the nominees.  The current Audit Committee held one
meeting   during  the  previous   fiscal  year.   The  Audit   Committee   makes
recommendations to the Board concerning the selection of each Fund's independent
accountants  and  reviews  with such  accountants  the scope and results of each
Fund's annual audit.  The Funds do not have standing  nominating or compensation
committees of the Boards.

The  officers  of the  Funds  serve  for one  year  or  until  their  respective
successors are chosen and qualified.  The Fund's officers  currently  receive no
compensation  from the Fund but are also officers of Jackson National  Financial
Services,  LLC and certain of its  affiliates and receive  compensation  in such
capacities.

The following sets forth certain  information  concerning the current  principal
executive  officers of the Funds and  Managers of the Funds who are  "interested
persons" of the Funds under the 1940 Act.

THE BOARD OF MANAGERS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "IN FAVOR" OF THE NOMINEES FOR THE BOARD
OF MANAGERS LISTED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.


                                 OTHER BUSINESS

Management  does not intend to present and does not have reason to believe  that
others will  present any other items of  business at the  Meeting.  However,  if
other matters are properly presented to the Meeting for a vote, the proxies will
be voted upon such matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons acting
under the proxies.

The Funds are not required to hold and will not ordinarily  hold annual Interest
holders' meetings.

Pursuant to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, an Interest
holder may include in proxy statements  relating to annual and other meetings of
the Interest holders of a Fund certain  proposals for action by Interest holders
which he or she intends to introduce  at such  meetings;  provided,  among other
things,  that any such proposal  must be received by the Fund a reasonable  time
before a solicitation of proxies is made for such meeting.  Timely submission of
a proposal does not necessarily mean that the proposal will be included.

IF YOU  CANNOT BE  PRESENT IN PERSON,  YOU ARE  REQUESTED  TO FILL IN,  SIGN AND
RETURN THE ENCLOSED VOTING INSTRUCTIONS CARD PROMPTLY. NO POSTAGE IS REQUIRED IF
MAILED IN THE UNITED STATES.
