AEGON has businesses in more than twenty countries around the world. In recent years, the Group has taken a number of steps to expand its international presence, branching out into new, emerging markets such as India, China and Central and Eastern Europe. 

At the same time, AEGON has also strengthened the Group's operations in its three main markets - the United States, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. 

AEGON's ambition is to further strengthen its international presence by expanding into new markets that offers prospects for profitable, above-average, long-term growth. To achieve this, the Group seeks out opportunities both to grow its existing businesses and to expand into new areas through carefully selected acquisitions and partnerships.
