Leverage Insights from a Pioneer of Value Investing

This brochure was designed to provide information on the Shiller Barclays Global Index and should be used only in conjunction with the BCA® suite of Fixed Indexed Annuities (FIAs) from Athene Annuity and Life Company, including BCA 2.0 and Athene® Velocity. Barclays is not the issuer or producer of the BCA suite of FIAs. Barclays’ relationship to the products described in this brochure is only licensing the index to Athene in exchange for a fee for use in connection with the products. Fixed indexed annuities are not an investment and do not directly invest in the stock market or any index. It is not possible to directly invest in an index. Please ask your insurance professional and refer to the fixed indexed annuity product brochure and inserts for more information on fees, restrictions and limitations.

A pioneer of value investing, Professor Robert Shiller helped design a systematic way to identify undervalued assets to help investors buy when the price is low and sell when the price is high.

Professor Shiller's Cyclically Adjusted Price to Earnings Ratio (commonly known as the CAPE® ratio) has become a benchmark for finding values among global asset classes.

With global financial services firm Barclays, Professor Shiller applied some of his insights on multi-asset investing to create the Shiller Global Index. This global, multi-asset index is designed to leverage diversification, value investing and momentum to create consistent appreciation through a variety of markets.

Individual Stocks as of 12/18. Numbers represent the total pool from which individual stocks are evaluated quarterly, and are subject to change.

The Index is designed to provide global diversifi cation from the world’s three largest developed markets: the United States, Eurozone and Japan. Asset classes in stocks, bonds and commodities offer opportunities for growth in a variety of market conditions.

Shiller's Process for Finding Global Value

Key Terms and Definitions

CAPE ratio – A statistical tool used to identify potential values, the CAPE® Ratio compares the current price to the average earnings over 10 years, adjusted for inflation.

Momentum – An indicator of a positive or negative trend in an asset’s price movement over time. Momentum is calculated by comparing the asset class’s current price to the price of the asset class six months earlier.

The Index is designed to identify undervalued stocks in three regions — the U.S., Eurozone and Japan — using CAPE ratio and strongest momentum. Professor Shiller designed this monthly process to find stocks that are well-established and relatively forgotten, with a long history of earnings but underpriced in the market.

Identifying Best Values With Strongest Momentum

Approximately 860 global stocks with 20 years or more of history are evaluated by the CAPE ratio to identify potential values2

Diversified stocks in each region with low CAPE ratios indicating good value are evaluated for six-month momentum

The 80 U.S. stocks, 40 Eurozone stocks and 40 Japanese stocks with the strongest momentum are selected and equally weighted within each region

Multi-Asset AllocationThe Index evaluates and rebalances stocks, bonds and undervalued commodities monthly with the aim to respond to changing market conditions. Shiller's global stocks are always included in the allocation, with other asset classes included when they show positive momentum.

If volatility falls below the 6% annualized volatility target, the index may increase its allocation to the selected asset classes up to 150%. If daily volatility is greater than 6%, exposure to the allocation may be reduced with the remainder allocated to cash.

Designed to Navigate Global Markets

3 The maximum weight for U.S. and Eurozone stocks is 40% and for Japanese stocks is 20% of the allocation.

When asset class momentum is positive, 20% of the index will be equally allocated to 10 undervalued commodities in short supply

COMMODITIES

When asset class momentum is positive, 20% of the index will be equally allocated to U.S. Government Bonds

The Benefit of Global Values

** Hypothetical Assumptions: Index Value of the Shiller Barclays Global Index from 8/1/02 to 12/31/19. The Shiller Barclays Global Index was established on 2/1/19. Performance shown before this date is back-tested by applying the index strategy, which was designed with the benefit of hindsight, to historical financial data. Back-tested performance is hypothetical and has been provided for informational purposes only. Past performance is not indicative of nor does it guarantee future performance or results. The foregoing performance information does not include any relevant costs, participation rates and charges associated with the BCA suite of FIAs or any other financial product linked to the Shiller Barclays Global Index. For more information on the BCA suite of FIAs and performance of the Shiller Barclays Global Index, ask your insurance professional for an illustration.
