Aegon dropped 4% in Amsterdam, following the publication of a net loss of 199 million euros for the past year, and an operating profit down 17% to 1.5 billion (including a 32% fall in the second half alone to 681 million).

"In the second half, Aegon maintained its commercial momentum, driven by the strong performance of our US operations, as well as our workplace business in the UK and our joint venture in Brazil," says CEO Lard Friese.

A final dividend of 0.16 euro per share will be proposed by the Dutch insurer, bringing its total dividend for 2023 to 0.30 euro per share, up 30% on that paid in respect of the previous financial year.
