Strategic developments
Lard Friese, Aegon CEO, commented:
“We generated strong commercial momentum across our key markets in the first half of 2025. In the United States, new life sales increased by 13% to USD 276 million, while World Financial Group (WFG) continued to expand its distribution network. Our UK Workplace business continued to perform well, generating GBP 2.1 billion in net deposits, while our Asset Management business also achieved positive net flows. Our International business saw overall sales growth, driven by Brazil, China, and Spain & Portugal.
In the first two quarters, we booked EUR 576 million of Operating Capital Generation (OCG) and we remain on track to meet our OCG guidance of around EUR 1.2 billion for 2025. Our operating result was EUR 845 million, up 19% compared to last year. Our annual assumption updates in the United States led to some strengthening of assumptions to address adverse policyholder behavior experience witnessed over recent quarters.
Our capital ratios remain robust, and our cash capital position stands above our operating range. We are therefore announcing an interim dividend of 19 euro cents, which represents a year-on-year increase of 19%, and that we are increasing our currently ongoing share buyback to EUR 400 million from the previously announced EUR 200 million.
Today we are announcing an important step for our company, as we will begin a review on a potential relocation of Aegon’s head office to the United States. In recent years, Aegon’s business in the United States – which accounts for approximately 70% of Aegon’s operations – has become Aegon’s primary market and central to the company’s strategy and long-term growth.
A relocation of Aegon’s legal domicile and head office to the United States is expected to simplify Aegon’s corporate structure as it would align its legal domicile, tax residency, accounting standard and regulatory framework with the geography where it conducts the majority of its business.
We aim to share the outcome of this review at our Capital Markets Day on December 10, 2025.”

Local currencies
This document contains certain information about Aegon’s results, financial condition and revenue generating investments presented in USD for the Americas and in GBP for the United Kingdom, because those businesses operate and are managed primarily in those currencies. None of this information is a substitute for or superior to financial information about Aegon presented in EUR, which is the currency of Aegon’s primary financial statements.
Cautionary note regarding non-IFRS measures
This document includes the following non-IFRS financial measures: operating result and valuation equity. Operating result is calculated by consolidating on a proportionate basis Aegon’s joint ventures and associated companies, except for its associate a.s.r. Operating result reflects Aegon’s profit before tax from underlying business operations and mainly excludes components that relate to accounting mismatches that are dependent on market volatility or relate to events that are considered outside the normal course of business. Valuation equity combines shareholders’ equity and the embedded value of unearned profits in insurance contracts. This provides a more comprehensive view of the Group’s economic value. Aegon believes that these non-IFRS measures, together with the IFRS information, provide meaningful supplemental information about the operating results of Aegon’s business including insight into the financial measures that senior management uses in managing the business..
