Interest Crediting Strategies are methods used to calculate how much interest, if any, will be credited to your annuity. Athene Performance Elite annuities allow you to allocate your money among one or more of several interest crediting strategies.

  • Any interest earned is credited at the end of the crediting period
  • Your interest credits are “locked in” once credited and cannot be lost due to market downturns
  • Interest credits will never be less than 0%

Access your money when you need it most

Built-in features allow you to withdraw money in case you’re confined to a Qualified Care Facility or if you’re diagnosed with a terminal illness.1
