Schedule of Policyholder Account Balance, Guaranteed Minimum Crediting Rate
The following represents policyholder account balances by range of guaranteed minimum crediting rates (“GMCR”), as well as the related range of the difference between rates being credited to policyholders and the respective guaranteed minimums. Athene’s funding agreements and other investment-type products provide Athene little to no discretionary ability to change the rates of interest payable to the respective policyholder or institution and, as a result, those policyholder account balances are excluded from the following tables.
