Registered index-linked annuity
Athene Amplify 2.0 NF NY
NF = No Fee. NY identifies the New York filing.
The New York-only contract version of Athene's no-fee Amplify 2.0 buffered RILA.
Buffer
30%
Protection terms vary by segment and do not make the contract principal-protected.
RILA contracts can offer index-linked upside with a stated buffer, floor, or downside participation rule. They can still lose value under market and contract conditions, and they are not MYGA-style fixed-rate guarantees.
Product data status: updated regularly
Source: AdvisorWorld public product detail from CANNEX. Rates vary by state, premium band, issue age, index segment, and crediting term. RILA buffers, floors, downside participation, caps, participation rates, fixed rates, and spreads are separate point-in-time contract mechanics; they can change and are not guaranteed yields. Educational only; not advice, a quote, or a carrier-approved illustration. Confirm the current prospectus, state-approved contract version, and carrier materials before purchase. Guarantees are backed by the issuing carrier's claims-paying ability and are not FDIC-insured.
How this product works
How the 30% buffer works
For buffer segments, the insurer absorbs the first 30% of a linked-index loss for that segment term. If the index falls by more than the buffer, the contract loses value by the amount beyond it. These are forms of limited downside protection, not principal protection.
Because this is an SEC-registered product, compare the current prospectus, contract, segment term, crediting limit, fees, and surrender rules before purchase.

Buffer: credited loss = min(0, index return + buffer). Floor: credited loss = max(index return, −floor). Upside participation is applied before any cap; an annual strategy fee is compounded across the listed segment term.

RILA questions
Can this product lose value?
Yes. Principal is not protected; linked segments can lose value when negative index performance exceeds the selected protection or under other contract terms.
How are a buffer and floor different?
A buffer absorbs the first stated portion of a loss and passes through the excess. A floor caps the segment loss at the stated amount.
What limits positive returns?
Depending on the segment, a cap, participation rate, spread, strategy fee, or combination can limit credited upside.
