AEGON

AEGON as it is known today, was established in 1983, its oldest roots can be traced to the period when the company provided modest burial funds to customers to ensure a decent funeral for a family member or loved one. These funds are the historical roots of industrial life insurance.

AEGON's main predecessors are 'Algemeene Friesche' (1844), 'Eerste Nederlandsche' (1882), 'Groot-Noordhollandsche' (1845), 'Olveh' (1879) and ‘Nillmij’ (1859). The history of these companies takes us back to the nineteenth century. The oldest of these five, the ‘Algemeene Friesche’, was founded on October 1, 1844. Apart from these five, there were quite a few other predecessors, some of them small, others of considerable importance.
