The above graph reflects the results of a $10,000 investment in Series A of
the Aetna GET Fund from its inception, August 17, 1987, through its
liquidation on November 30, 1992. It also shows the results of $10,000
investments in S&P 500 and Lehman Aggregate, two unmanaged indices, for the
same period.
The Series A line reflects the deduction of the advisory fee and other
expenses for Series A and certain separate account charges. The advisory fee
for Series A was .50% annually calculated on the average daily net assets of
the Series (.25% prior to December 1, 1987). The advisory fee and other
expenses for Series C of the Aetna GET Fund offered by this prospectus are
.40% during the Offering Period (.25% advisory fee and .15% administrative
services fee) and .75% during the Guaranteed Period (.60% advisory fee and
0.15% administrative services fee). The Series A line also reflects the
deduction of Series A other expenses and of a separate account charge of
1.25% for Mortality and Expense and the GET Guarantee Charge of .25%. Please
refer to your Contract prospectus for Contract charges as actual Contract
charges vary.
It should be noted that the stock market fell sharply on October 19, 1987.
Series A was invested in money market securities at that time and was not
affected by the fall. This explains the large divergence between the
performance of Series A noted above and performance of the S&P 500 index
during the first months of Series A operations. The percentage mix of fixed
income and equity securities in Series C is expected to be different than
that of Series A, since it is based on the economic factors at the beginning
of the Guaranteed Period of the Series.

the Aetna GET Fund from its inception, July 1, 1994, through September 30,
1996. It also shows the results of $10,000 investments in S&P 500 and Lehman
Aggregate, two unmanaged indices, for the same period.
The maturity date of Series B is June 30, 1999. The Series B line reflects
the deduction of the advisory fee and other expenses for Series B and certain
separate account charges. The advisory fee is .75% (.25% prior to July 1,
1994) annually calculated on the average daily net assets of Series B. The
Series B line also reflects the deduction of Series B other expenses and of a
separate account charge of 1.25% for Mortality and Expense and the GET
Guarantee Charge of .25%. Please see your Contract prospectus for Contract
charges as actual Contract charges may vary.
The percentage mix of fixed income and equity securities in Series C is
expected to be different than that of Series B, since it is based on the
economic factors at the beginning of the Guaranteed Period of the Series.
