Sector funds generally diversify their investments across particular economic sectors or a single industry. However, because those
investments are limited to a comparatively narrow segment of the economy, the Portfolios are generally not as diversified as other
Portfolios. Sector funds tend to be more volatile than other types of funds. The value of fund shares may go up and down more rapidly
than other funds. Each sector of the economy may also have different regulatory or other risk factors that can cause greater fluctuations
in the share price. Please read the prospectus for the Portfolios for further details about the risks of the particular sector of the
economy. Each ProFund VP sector Portfolio will concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to
approximately the same extent the applicable Index is so concentrated.

objective, it should gain approximately one and a half times as much as the S&P 500(R)Index ProFund Advisors LLC

approximately one and a half times as much when such prices decline on a given day.

II. RYDEX VARIABLE TRUST SUB-ACCOUNT CLOSING
Effective March 16, 2001, the Nova, Ursa and OTC portfolios of Rydex Variable Trust will no longer be offered as
Sub-accounts under the Annuity. Owners of Annuity contracts issued on or after March 16, 2001 will not be
allowed to allocate Account Value to the Rydex Nova, Rydex Ursa or Rydex OTC Sub-accounts. Except as noted
below, Owners of Annuity contracts issued before March 16, 2001, and/or their authorized financial professionals,
will no longer be able to allocate additional Account Value or make transfers into the Rydex Nova, Rydex Ursa or
Rydex OTC Sub-accounts. Contract Owners and/or their authorized financial professionals who elect to transfer
Account Value out of the Rydex Sub-accounts on or after March 16, 2001 will not be allowed to transfer Account
Value into the Rydex Sub-accounts at a later date. Bank drafting, dollar cost averaging, asset allocation and
rebalancing programs that were effective on or before March 16, 2001 and included one or more of the Rydex
Sub-accounts will be allowed to continue. However, no changes involving the Rydex Sub-accounts may be made to
such programs.
American Skandia intends to file an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission to substitute the
Rydex Nova, Rydex Ursa and Rydex OTC Sub-accounts with corresponding portfolios of ProFunds VP. The proposed
substitution will not affect your rights or our obligations under the Annuity. Those Contract Owners effected by
the proposed substitution will receive additional information from American Skandia notifying them of their
rights under the SEC Exemptive Order once received.
III. NEW FIXED INVESTMENT OPTION GUARANTEE PERIODS
Effective January 22, 2001, American Skandia is offering new Fixed Allocations for use with certain optional
investment programs. These special purpose Fixed Allocations are subject to limitations and restrictions, as
described below. We reserve the right to terminate offering these special purpose Fixed Allocations at any time.
A. American Skandia offers Fixed Allocations with Guarantee Periods of 5 months or 11 months exclusively
for use with a Dollar Cost Averaging program ("DCA Fixed Allocations"). DCA Fixed Allocations are
designed to automatically transfer Account Value in either 6 or 12 payments under a Dollar Cost
Averaging program. DCA Fixed Allocations may only be established by Contract Owners with their initial
Purchase Payment or additional Purchase Payments. Contract Owners may not transfer existing Account
Value to a DCA Fixed Allocation.
Account Value allocated to the DCA Fixed Allocation will be transferred to the Sub-accounts you choose under the
Dollar Cost Averaging program. Dollar Cost Averaging transfers will begin on the day following the date the DCA
Fixed Allocation is established and each month following until the entire principal amount plus earnings is
transferred. NOTE: When a Dollar Cost Averaging program is established from a Fixed Allocation, the fixed rate
of interest we credit to your Account Value is applied to a declining balance due to the transfers of Account
Value to the Sub-accounts during the Guarantee Period. This will reduce the effective rate of return on the DCA
Fixed Allocation over the Guarantee Period. Please refer to the section entitled "Do You Offer Dollar Cost
Averaging" for additional information about establishing a dollar cost averaging program.
Transfers from Fixed Allocations as part of a Dollar Cost Averaging program are not subject to a Market Value
Adjustment. If you terminate the Dollar Cost Averaging program before the entire principal amount plus earnings
has been transferred to the Sub-account(s), you must transfer all remaining Account Value to any other investment
option. Unless you provide alternate instructions at the time you terminate the Dollar Cost Averaging program,
Account Value will be transferred to the AST Money Market Sub-account. A Market Value Adjustment will apply if
you terminate the Dollar Cost Averaging program before the entire principal amount plus earnings has been
transferred to the Sub-account(s).
B. American Skandia offers Fixed Allocations with Guarantee Periods of 3 months or 6 months exclusively for
use as a short-term Fixed Allocation ("Short-term Fixed Allocations"). Short-term Fixed Allocations may
only be established by Contract Owners with their initial Purchase Payment or additional Purchase
Payments. Contract Owners may not transfer existing Account Value to a Short-term Fixed Allocation.
On the Maturity Date of the Short-term Fixed Allocation, the Account Value will be transferred to the
Sub-account(s) you choose at the inception of the program. If no instructions are provided, such Account Value
will be transferred to the AST Money Market Sub-account. Short-term Fixed Allocations may not be renewed on the
Maturity Date. If you surrender the Annuity or transfer any Account Value from the Short-term Fixed Allocation
to any other investment option before the end of the Guarantee Period, a Market Value Adjustment will apply.
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT
For purposes of the DCA Fixed Allocations and Short-term Fixed Allocations, the Market Value Adjustment formula
is modified as follows: The definition of "J" within the MVA formula will be equal to the fixed rate of interest
for new DCA Fixed Allocations of the applicable 5 or 11 month Guarantee Period or new Short-term Fixed
Allocations of the applicable 3 or 6 month Guarantee Period. If American Skandia no longer offers DCA Fixed
Allocations or Short-term Fixed Allocations on the date that a Market Value Adjustment is being calculated, the
definition of "J" within the MVA formula will be equal to the fixed rate of interest for the applicable Fixed
Allocations on the date that the Fixed Allocation program was terminated. Please refer to the section entitled
"How does the Market Value Adjustment Work?" for a description of the MVA formula.
IV. SPOUSAL ASSUMPTION
The following paragraph is being added to the "Death Benefit" section of your Annuity.
Spousal Beneficiary - Assumption of Annuity
You may name your spouse as your Beneficiary. If you and your spouse own the Annuity jointly, we assume that the
sole primary Beneficiary will be the surviving spouse unless you elect an alternative Beneficiary designation.
Unless you elect an alternative Beneficiary designation, the spouse Beneficiary may elect to assume ownership of
the Annuity instead of taking the Death Benefit payment. Any Death Benefit (including any optional Death
Benefits) that would have been payable to the Beneficiary will become the new Account Value as of the date we
receive due proof of death and any required proof of a spousal relationship. As of the date the assumption is
effective, the surviving spouse will have all the rights and benefits that would be available under the Annuity
to a new purchaser of the same attained age. For purposes of determining any future Death Benefit for the
surviving spouse, the new Account Value will be considered as the initial Purchase Payment. No CDSC will apply
to the new Account Value. However, any additional Purchase Payments applied after the date the assumption is
effective will be subject to all provisions of the Annuity.
V. OPTIONAL DEATH BENEFIT
The optional 7.2% Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit (Option 2) was offered, in those states where approved,
between May 15, 1999 and January 22, 2001. As of January 22, 2001, this optional Death Benefit is no longer
being offered to new purchasers of the Annuity. If purchased, this optional Death Benefit will apply for
Contract Owners who purchased it during that period.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution: Not Applicable.
Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers: Under Section 33-320a of the Connecticut General Statutes,
the Registrant must indemnify a director or officer against judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in
settlement and reasonable expenses including attorneys' fees, for actions brought or threatened to be brought
against him in his capacity as a director or officer when certain disinterested parties determine that he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Registrant. In any
criminal action or proceeding, it also must be determined that the director or officer had no reason to believe
his conduct was unlawful. The director or officer must also be indemnified when he is successful on the merits
in the defense of a proceeding or in circumstances where a court determines that he is fairly and reasonable
entitled to be indemnified, and the court approves the amount. In shareholder derivative suits, the director or
officer must be finally adjudged not to have breached this duty to the Registrant or a court must determine that
he is fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified and must approve the amount. In a claim based upon the
director's or officer's purchase or sale of the Registrants' securities, the director or officer may obtain
indemnification only if a court determines that, in view of all the circumstances, he is fairly and reasonably
entitled to be indemnified and then for such amount as the court shall determine. The By-Laws of American
Skandia Life Assurance Corporation ("ASLAC") also provide directors and officers with rights of indemnification,
consistent with Connecticut Law.
The foregoing statements are subject to the provisions of Section 33-320a.
Directors and officers of ASLAC and American Skandia Marketing, Incorporated, ("ASM, Inc."), can also be
indemnified pursuant to Indemnity Agreements between each director and officer and American Skandia, Inc., a
corporation organized under the laws of the state of Delaware. The provisions of the Indemnity Agreement are
governed by Section 45 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
The directors and officers of ASLAC and ASM, Inc. are covered under a directors and officers liability insurance
policy issued by an unaffiliated insurance company and an insurance policy issued to Skandia Insurance Company
Ltd., their ultimate parent. Such policy will reimburse ASLAC or ASM, Inc., as applicable, for any payments that
it shall make to directors and officers pursuant to law and, subject to certain exclusions contained in the
policy, will pay any other costs, charges and expenses, settlements and judgments arising from any proceeding
involving any director or officer of ASLAC or ASM, Inc., as applicable, in his or her past or present capacity as
such.

Item 17. Undertakings: The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, post-effective amendments to this
registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10 (a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the
registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
