 to 3.24% in 2024, primarily driven by higher rates on new business and runoff of lower rate business compared to existing blocks, earlier origination of new business within the year compared to 2024, a shift in business mix to more institutional business at higher crediting rates and an unfavorable change in unlocking, partially offset by lower rates on floating rate funding agreements.

Net investment earned rate was 5.21% in 2025, an increase of 25 basis points compared to 4.96% in 2024, primarily driven by higher returns in both Athene’s fixed income and alternative investment portfolios. Fixed income and other net investment earned rate was 4.97% in 2025, an increase from 4.82% in 2024, primarily driven by higher rates on new deployment compared to Athene’s existing portfolio related to the higher interest rate environment and earlier deployment into assets during the year compared to 2024, partially offset by lower floating rate income. Alternative net investment earned rate was 9.98% in 2025, an increase from 7.69% in 2024, primarily driven by more favorable performance within origination and retirement services platforms, as well as within equity funds. The higher returns from origination platforms were mainly attributable to an initial mark from cost to fair value on Atlas in 2025, strong growth from origination partnerships within Aqua Finance in 2025 compared to a valuation decrease in 2024, and robust infrastructure origination following a capital raise within Apterra in 2025, partially offset by strong growth from Redding Ridge Holdings in 2024. The higher returns from retirement services platforms were primarily related to a valuation increase on Venerable in 2025 related to the announcement of a reinsurance transaction with Corebridge, unfavorable returns on Athene’s investment in Catalina in 2024 not recurring in 2025 due to the distribution of its Catalina common equity interests as a dividend in the third quarter of 2024 and realized losses from the sale of Challenger common equity shares in 2024, partially offset by increased capital requirements related to expanded solvency requirements impacting the valuation of Athora in 2025. The more favorable returns from equity funds were mainly attributable to more favorable performance within private and structured equity in 2025 compared to 2024.
