ATHENE MaxRate. Great Interest Rates. Now an Even Better Value.

 

 

Athene Annuity & Life Assurance Company

 

We're making an important enhancement to our ATHENE MaxRate multi-year guarantee product that will make it an even better value for our marketing partners, producers and clients.

Effective May 1, 2012, MaxRate's death benefit will change from the contract's surrender value to its full accumulation value. The change, which we're packaging as a contract endorsement, will apply to all contracts - including those currently in force.*

A company that's refreshingly responsive
How does Athene Annuity make a great MYGA even better? By listening carefully to your feedback . . . and responding quickly when an improvement is needed.

Since we launched ATHENE MaxRate last month, you've been telling us that offering a traditional death benefit based on full accumulation value would make the product even more attractive to clients already drawn to product's great interest rates and focus on accumulation. Consider it done.

A MYGA that's refreshingly competitive
Our new death benefit enhancement makes ATHENE MaxRate an even better solution for clients looking for the protection and predictable growth of a fixed annuity to accumulate assets for retirement. MaxRate is simple and easy for them to understand. And with some of the highest interest rates in the market, coupled with a death benefit based on the full accumulation value, it's now even easier for you to sell.
