The document summarizes Ageas's investments and operations in Asia over the past decade. It notes that Ageas has invested a total of EUR 1.1 billion in Asia with an average duration of 5.5 years, including major investments in companies in China, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong and India. It outlines the growth of Ageas's life and non-life insurance businesses across the region in terms of inflows, profits, funds under management and embedded value. The document concludes that Ageas has established a strong growth pillar in Asia with successful partnerships and remains well positioned for future opportunities through its focus on quality business and prudent risk management.
The pandemic and the subsequent stimulus packages set the pace for the investment year 2020. The return on Veritas’ investments was 6.8 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2020, bringing the investment return for the whole year to 5.6 per cent. The good investment result strengthened Veritas’ solvency, which increased by the end of the year to 128.8 per cent.
We are very satisfied with the strong nine month and third quarter results. They show that we are delivering on the promises of our Ambition 2018 strategic plan. The combined ratio, margins in guaranteed life, return on equity and solvency all exceed our targets.
Ageas delivered a strong set of first half-year figures evidencing good progress with respect to our Ambition 2018 strategic plan. Life inflows continued to grow while at the same time we optimised the product mix in Belgium and Asia. The result of our Life activities remained strong in all segments. The Non-Life businesses in Belgium and Continental Europe realised excellent results which were reflected in outstanding combined ratios.

Regulatory impact on banks and insurers investmentsAgeas
The financial sector is operating in a rapidly changing environment with new regulations coming up and with a growing dependency on macro-economic developments. In this context, banks and insurers are both confronted with the, Basel III and Solvency II regulations that will soon be effective. To get a better insight in the consequences and opportunities of these new regulations for their investment behavior, Ageas has asked Vlerick to make a detailed study.
Vlerick Business School and Ageas and its Belgian operational company AG Insurance, promoters of the Vlerick Chair “Centre for Financial Services”, strongly belief that the exchange between the business community and the academic world is beneficial for both parties by increasing the mutual understanding of each other’s strategies, challenges, opportunities and needs.
