Aegon to sell non-core and more volatile operations, cut costs, reduce debt
Aegon NV, the Dutch-based insurer that does most of its business in the United States, told investors on Thursday it hopes to end years of underperformance by cutting costs and selling businesses that are either costly with volatile returns, or relatively small. New Chief Executive Lard Friese put forward financial targets that include cutting 400 million euros ($484 million) in costs -- which will require restructuring charges of 650 million euros -- and generating free cash flow of at least 1.4 billion euros in 2021-2023. In October, Aegon sold its trademark Pyramid building in downtown San Francisco for $650 million and in November, it sold its Central and Eastern European operations for 830 million euros.
