I just wanted to share some information about the Athene Ascent Pro 10 Annuity. I called the company and talked with Ashley. I asked her to send me a copy of the annuity contract. She said that the contract is 100 pages and that they will not send it to me. In order to read the contract, you must talk with a salesperson, receive a brochure, and send in an application with payment to them. Then, they will send you the contract to sign and you have 20 days to cancel it. So, you cannot read the contract until you have agreed to buy the product and pay for it. To me, this should be a huge warning to anyone who is considering buying an annuity. I have had the same response from other companies who sell annuities. I would never buy anything from someone who will not even let you read what you are buying before you agree to buy it.
