Aegon N.V. (ENXTAM:AGN) will look for acquisitions. Aegon’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Executive Board, Alexander Rijn Wynaendts said, “For 2019 we gross remittances of €1.5 billion to the holding and this obviously will support our annual dividend. In addition, remittances will be used in investing growth to finance holding, funding and operating expenses, but also to lease sufficient financial flexibility to potential add-on acquisitions or additional capital returns to our shareholders. To grow our business, we are looking at selective inorganic growth opportunities, but next to strict financial criteria, acquisition should be aligned with our strategic objectives. And for these reasons, we are focusing on in-market acquisitions to strengthen our leading position and protection businesses as we offer superior growth opportunities and are less capital-intensive.”
