Aegon CEO, Alex Wynaendts - "While I am pleased with the development of our capital position, our second quarter results did not meet our expectations. Earnings were affected by exceptionally low interest rates, adverse claims experience in our life and health businesses in the US, and the book loss from the divestment of our UK annuity portfolio. We are implementing further measures to improve earnings going forward – including accelerating our ambitious expense savings program currently under way across our company."
