Aegon (ISIN BMG0112X1056) is transferring its Dutch fiduciary management activities, overseeing EUR 26 billion in assets, to Van Lanschot Kempen. The agreement, announced on October 1, 2026, also makes Aegon Asset Management a strategic partner for alternative fixed income, according to Aegon.

Transfer changes the asset mix

The assets will move to Van Lanschot Kempen Investment Management in phases, with the agreement expected to take effect in the third quarter of 2027 and the transition continuing through mid-2028. The transaction includes approximately 30 employees in the Netherlands, while Aegon Asset Management will continue providing liquid multi-manager investment solutions and liability-driven investment services.

The EUR 26 billion fiduciary book compares with EUR 98 billion in Van Lanschot Kempen's fiduciary assets under management, with both figures measured on June 30, 2026. Aegon Asset Management also reported USD 446 billion in assets managed and advised as of that date, supported by 1,130 employees, according to Van Lanschot Kempen.

The October 8 vote matters

The asset management agreement comes as Aegon prepares for a broader corporate change. Aegon's shareholder circular proposes moving its legal domicile from Bermuda to Delaware and changing the company name to Transamerica Inc., subject to shareholder approval at the special meeting on October 8, 2026.

The filing says Aegon's shares are listed on Euronext Amsterdam under AGN and on the New York Stock Exchange under AEG. It also says the New York Stock Exchange is expected to become the primary listing after the proposed redomiciliation, while Euronext Amsterdam would be retained for the time being, according to Stock Titan.

Aegon stock stays near EUR 7.66

For investors, the immediate read-through is a strategic shift toward partnerships and U.S. retirement operations rather than a completed disposal of the asset management business. The EUR 26 billion transfer remains subject to customary closing conditions, so the financial effect will develop through the scheduled transition rather than at announcement.
