BNP Paribas Multi Asset Diversified 5 Index

† Index performance reflects back-tested results, which is not actual performance, but is calculated by applying the index methodology (designed with the benefit of hindsight) to historical financial data. While the index did not exist during this time period, the components did. Back-tested performance is hypothetical and has been provided for informational purposes only. It is not intended to predict future performance and actual performance will vary, perhaps materially, from the hypothetical performance shown above. The hypothetical performance of the index does not correlate directly to index credits. Please refer to the Index Strategy Insert for more information about how interest is credited.

The index is an excess return index. The returns of the index will reflect the performance of the underlying components in excess of a reference rate that could be earned on cash or a similar risk-free benchmark asset. Additionally, the performance of the index includes an embedded fee and may also include other costs such as transaction and replication costs. These costs may vary over time with market conditions. The excess return nature of index and the embedded fees and costs will all reduce index performance and the potential interest credited within the annuity contract. Because the index applies a volatility control mechanism, the range of both the positive and negative performance of the index is limited. The embedded fee for the BNP Paribas Multi Asset Diversified 5 Index is 0.50% per year, deducted daily.

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.
