Withdrawals and surrender may be subject to federal and state income tax and, except under certain circumstances, will be subject to an IRS penalty if taken prior to age 59½. Withdrawals are not credited with index interest in the year they are taken. Withdrawals in excess of the free amount are subject to a Withdrawal Charge and MVA (if applicable) which may result in the loss of principal.

With Athene MaxRate annuities, RMDs are considered part of your annual Withdrawal with no withdrawal charge, even if they exceed your Withdrawal with no withdrawal charge amount.
Annuity Payout Options
You can begin receiving guaranteed income from your annuity once it matures (on the Annuity Date). This is called “annuitization.” The payment amount will be based on your annuity’s Accumulation Value and the Settlement Option you choose. You have different options available to you depending on whether you want to receive income for a set period of time, your lifetime, or the lifetimes of you and your Joint Annuitant. It’s important to note that once you choose to annuitize, the payment schedule and the amount are fixed and can’t be altered.
