Athene Holding

Athene Holding Ltd. provides retirement services, specializing in financial security. It offers retail annuities, including fixed indexed and immediate options, alongside institutional solutions such as funding agreements, pension group annuities, and flow reinsurance. The company’s model prioritizes strong asset returns relative to liabilities.

Jim Belardi, a seasoned financial executive, founded Athene in 2009, envisioning a specialized retirement firm focused on disciplined asset management and expense control. A significant personal health challenge for Belardi led to a pivotal partnership with Apollo, instrumental in solidifying Athene’s market presence and accelerating its growth.

Athene serves diverse clients: individual annuity holders, financial professionals, institutional investors, and corporations with pension obligations. Its mission is to protect savings and generate guaranteed income, enabling policyholders to achieve retirement objectives and secure their financial well-being.
