Aegon awards $380 billion middle-office mandate

Aegon has awarded a new middle-office mandate covering approximately $380 billion in assets under management. This expansion builds upon a long-standing relationship spanning over two decades in custody and fund accounting services.

The mandate focuses on several key functional areas, including investment book-of-record reporting, trade management, settlement, and performance measurement. By unifying these processes, Aegon aims to scale reporting and settlement across its various portfolios, improving data quality, consistency, and operational speed.

This strategic move highlights Aegon's significant role as an asset manager alongside its traditional insurance business. The expansion of the asset management segment is part of a broader strategy to strengthen capital-light business models and diversify revenue streams.
