 Alternative net investment earned rate was 9.86% in 2025, an increase from 5.73% in 2024, primarily driven by more favorable performance within origination and retirement services platforms.

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, as well as unfavorable returns on Athene’s investment in Catalina in 2024 not recurring in 2025 due to the distribution of Athene’s Catalina common equity interests to AGM as a dividend in the third quarter of 2024.
