The Athene Performance Elite 10 is a single premium fixed-indexed annuity with a 10 year surrender charge period and a MVA provision.

Optional Strategy Charge
Higher Cap and Participation Rates are available with a strategy charge. Annual Strategy Charges are calculated on the contract anniversary and deducted monthly from the Accumulated Value.
Strategy Charge Credit
A one-time Strategy Charge Credit will be added to the Accumulated Value at the end of the Withdrawal Charge Period, if the sum of all strategy charges applied, minus the sum of all interest credits, is greater than zero.

Strategy Preset
Strategy Preset is a unique “hands-free” option designed to:

harness diversification potential through broad index exposure
allow for personalization through preset options that best meet your return profile
automatically allocate your premium to a predetermined blend of index strategies
automatically rebalance each year to target that blend over time

You still have the potential to earn interest credits every year and can help optimize performance through the additional use of longer crediting terms and/ or strategy charges.

Withdrawal Provisions

Free Withdrawals Athene Performance Elite annuities provide annual penalty-free withdrawal privileges. Athene Performance Elite 10 annuity allows up to 5% beginning in the second Contract Year. Each year, you may withdraw up to the maximum free amount of your annuity’s Accumulated Value (as of the most recent Contract Anniversary) without a Withdrawal Charge, Market Value Adjustment (MVA) or any Premium Bonus Vesting Adjustment, if applicable. Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) are IRS mandatory withdrawals required with qualified contracts (such as an IRA). These withdrawals from your annuity contract are considered part of your free withdrawal, free of Withdrawal Charges, MVA or Premium Bonus Vesting Adjustment for the Contract Year. Market Value Adjustment (MVA)A Market Value Adjustment applies to withdrawals in excess of the free withdrawal amount and full surrenders during the Withdrawal Charge period. If you take an excess withdrawal before the end of your Withdrawal Charge period, an MVA will be applied to that excess withdrawal. The MVA may increase or decrease the amount of the Withdrawal or Cash Surrender Value of your Contract depending on the change in interest rates. If interest rates have increased, stayed the same or decreased by less than 0.25%, the MVA will be negative. If interest rates have decreased by more than 0.25%, the MVA will be positive. MVA is not applicable in all states.
