 Fund Information for Mutual of America's Separate Account No. 2 Mid-Term Bond Fund |
 | This Separate Account Fund invests in the Mid-Term Bond Fund of Mutual of America
Investment Corporation, of which its primary investment objective is to provide as
high a level of current income over time as is believed to be consistent with
prudent investment risk. A secondary objective is preservation of capital. The
average maturity of the Underlying Fund's securities holdings will be between three
and seven years. The Underlying Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing
primarily in investment-grade, publicly traded debt securities, such as bonds, U.S.
Government and agency securities, including mortgage-backed securities, and zero
coupon securities.

 Fund Information for Mutual of America's Separate Account No. 2 Mid-Term Bond Fund |
 | The Fund invests primarily in publicly-traded, investment-grade debt securities.
- At least 80% of the Fund’s total assets are invested in investment-grade bonds issued by U.S. corporations or by the U.S. Government or its agencies, such as bonds, notes, debentures, zero coupon securities and mortgage-backed securities. Bonds are debt instruments that can be issued by the federal government, government agencies and subdivisions, states, cities, corporations and other institutions.
- It is possible that certain corporate bonds in the Fund’s portfolio can be below investment grade, commonly referred to as “junk bonds.”
- The Fund’s securities holdings will have an average maturity of three to seven years.

 | An investment in the Fund is subject to the following risks which are described in more detail in the Prospectus.
- General risk: The Fund may not achieve its investment objective. An investment in the Fund could decline in value, and you could lose money by investing in the Fund.
- Market risk: The risk that prices of securities will go down because of the interplay of market forces may affect a single issuer, industry or sector of the economy or may affect the market as a whole.
- Mortgage risk: The duration of mortgage-related securities tends to be inversely related to changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise, the duration of mortgage-related securities extends (referred to as “extension risk”) and as interest rates fall, mortgage-related securities are prepaid at a faster rate (referred to as “pre-payment risk”). Because of interest rate changes, it is not possible to predict the realized yield or average life of a mortgage-backed security. Mortgage-backed securities issued by private corporations generally have more credit risk than securities issued by U.S. Government agencies.
- Zero Coupon risk: Zero coupon securities and discount notes do not pay interest prior to maturity and therefore may be more difficult to resell during periods of interest rate changes. The market value of debt securities declines as interest rates rise; therefore the Fund will lose value if it sells zero coupon securities prior to their maturity date. The longer the remaining term to maturity, the greater impact interest rate changes will have on the value of the security.
- Fixed Income risk: The value of your investment will go up or down depending on movements in the bond markets. The Fund’s investment results may differ from the results of a comparable bond market and from the results of other funds that invest in the same types of securities. Mortgage-backed securities or certificates are subject to prepayment or extension risk when interest rates fall or rise, respectively. The prices of debt securities may be subject to significant volatility. Fixed income securities have an inverse relationship to interest rates, such that as interest rates rise, bond values decrease. During economic uncertainty, the value of corporate debt securities may decline relative to the value of U.S. government debt securities. Debt obligations are subject to the risk that issuers may not be able to pay off the principal and interest when due. Non-investment grade debt obligations, known as “junk bonds”, have a higher risk of default and tend to be less liquid than higher-rated securities. Adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal for debt in the junk bond category than in higher-rated categories.
