Aegon Asset Management UK PLC

Aegon Asset Management UK PLC

Aegon Asset Management UK PLC is a UK-regulated asset manager headquartered in Edinburgh, part of the wider Aegon Group, a Dutch life insurance and pensions provider. The firm's UK operations were established through Aegon's acquisition of Scottish Equitable in 1994, though the exact founding date for the UK asset management entity is not publicly recorded. The firm manages multi-asset portfolios including fixed income, real assets (such as infrastructure debt and real estate), equities, and multi-asset solutions. It invests globally but has a focus on UK and European markets. Known institutional clients include pension schemes and insurance companies. The firm does not publicly disclose a complete portfolio company list as it invests mainly through liquid and semi-liquid instruments. Aegon Asset Management UK PLC does not publish a team size for its UK entity. The broader Aegon Asset Management group employs over 400 professionals globally (per Aegon's corporate filings, 2023). No additional offices are confirmed beyond Edinburgh; the parent group has offices in The Hague and other financial hubs. A structural differentiator is the firm's dual role: it operates as a commercial asset manager while being fully owned by Aegon NV, giving it captive distribution through the parent's insurance and pension distribution networks. This integration means its investment strategy is partly shaped by Aegon's liability-driven requirements for its insurance book.
