Rates Rise for Select Athene Products Effective 04/16/21

Great news! Rates are rising on select Athene products. Rate grids with current and new rates can be found below. You can also visit Athene Connect for additional product information or to run an illustration.

These changes will be effective with a contract date on or after April 16, 2021. The contract effective date is the date the contract has been deemed in good order and all funds received. While we cannot reissue contracts, any pending business will receive the new rates if the contract date is on or after the rate change effective date.

Revised materials will be available on Athene Connect beginning April 16, 2021. Be sure to use up-to-date materials when offering Athene annuities. You may experience slight processing delays on any print orders in the days before or after a rate change effective date.

For those of you doing business in FL, please note that we did create Suit and PCW guides specific to FL as they have cracked down on what they expect to see on our forms. Let me apologize as some of these seem pretty intense but this was directed at us from FL so we are complying. Those documents are included below.

BNP Paribas Multi Asset Diversified 5 Index: The BNP Paribas Multi Asset Diversified 5 Index (the “BNPP MAD 5 Index”) is the exclusive property of BNP Paribas or one of its affiliates (BNP Paribas and its affiliates are hereinafter called “BNPP”) and is determined, composed and calculated by BNPP. “BNP”, “BNPP”, “BNP Paribas”, “BNPP MAD 5 Index” and “BNP Paribas Multi Asset Diversified 5 Index” (collectively, the “BNPP Marks”) are trademarks or service marks of BNPP and have been licensed by Athene Annuity and Life Company (the “Company”) for use in a fixed indexed annuity offered by the Company. The fixed indexed annuity is not, in whole or in part, sponsored, structured, priced, endorsed, offered, sold, issued or promoted by BNPP or any of its affiliates, or any third party licensor of information to BNPP. BNPP’s only relationship to the Company is the licensing of the BNPP MAD 5 Index and BNPP Marks for certain purposes. BNPP shall not have any liability with respect to a fixed indexed annuity in which an interest crediting option is based on the BNPP MAD 5 Index, and is not liable for any loss relating to the fixed indexed annuity, whether arising directly or indirectly from the use of the BNPP MAD 5 Index, its methodology, any BNPP Mark or otherwise.

In calculating the level of the BNPP MAD 5 Index, BNPP deducts a servicing cost of 0.50% per annum, calculated on a daily basis. In addition, the BNPP MAD 5 Index methodology embeds certain costs which cover among other things, rebalancing and replication costs. Such costs may vary over time with market conditions. These costs reduce the potential positive change in the BNPP MAD 5 Index and thus the amount of interest that will be credited to the fixed indexed annuity that includes the BNPP MAD 5 Index.
