Aegon

Draft amendments to how the age discrimination regulations affect pensions are being released this week for further informal consultation.

Personal accounts will just be "another complicated tier of pensions provision", says Labour MP Frank Field.

Aegon is the first UK insurer to try and transfer the success of guaranteed living benefit products from the US to the UK, with the launch of ‘5 for Life'.

The government should provide modest subsidies for generic advice about personal accounts, says Aegon.

Aegon's branding on taxis and billboards suggests its brand awareness campaign is aimed at consumers, but the company stresses it is only targeting IFAs and corporate decision-makers.

Aegon's corporate and individual business brands will carry the Aegon name in addition to their existing names from today.

INCREASED pension activity and a solid start to annuity business helped Aegon UK produce record first-half sales, reports the Scotsman.

Legal and General Investment Management has just confirmed Roger Bartley will head up its fixed income asset management team which includes the launch of a new operation in Chicago.

Guidance from the Pensions Regulator on the role of death-in-service only schemes has still not made everything clear for trustees.

AEGON has agreed to buy a 49% stake in a Mexican insurer, says The Daily Telegraph.
