  • Aegon sells its UK arm to Standard Life in a £2bn deal.
  • The move is part of a broader shift towards the US market.
  • The combined group will serve 16 million customers with £480bn in assets.

After nearly two centuries of presence, Aegon is stepping away from the UK market. The company has agreed to sell its UK business to Standard Life in a deal valued at about £2bn, marking a significant shift in its global strategy.

The transaction brings together two large pensions and savings businesses, creating a combined group with around 16 million customers and £480bn ($651bn) in assets under administration. For Aegon, the move is less about the UK itself and more about where it wants to be next.
