Upgrade to A+ from AM Best

I’m thrilled to share some remarkable news about our business.

AM Best, the world’s largest credit rating agency, has upgraded Athene to an A+ insurance financial strength rating. Being upgraded from an Excellent to Superior rating means they have recognized our superior ability to meet our insurance obligations.

With this A+ rating, we continue to be recognized for our financial strength from top ratings agencies, including S&P, Fitch and now AM Best. While we’re pleased with the industry-wide recognition of Athene as a strong, stable company, the impact is significant for you and your clients.

AM Best’s A+ rating reflects our:

  • Balance sheet strength (assessed as very strong), strong operating performance, favorable business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management
  • Continuing trend of improving balance sheet strength
  • Track record of consistent positive earnings driven by favorable earnings spreads and operating profitability, despite competitive pressures

Reliability for your business and your clients
This upgrade is one more reason to consider Athene. As the top annuity provider in the country*, we are recognized for our financial stability, market-leading product suite and the drive to help make your business and your clients’ retirements remarkable.
