Our brand name is now AEGON

We're part of the worldwide AEGON Group, and in 2006 we emphasised that connection when we became known as AEGON Scottish Equitable International.

Now, as our customers become more familiar with the AEGON brand, we want to strengthen the link to our global identity. So, on 14 December 2009, we shortened our brand name to AEGON.

Why have we changed our name?

We understand people want to invest in a company they recognise. This year, AEGON in the UK entered into a five-year sponsorship deal with British Tennis, which is helping to make the AEGON name better known in the UK and Ireland. As a result, we're confident that now is the right time to continue our move towards one global AEGON brand.

Change in company name to AEGON Ireland plc

The company's name has also changed, from AEGON Scottish Equitable International plc to AEGON Ireland plc. This reflects the broader range of activities in Europe that our Dublin-based business is now involved in.

What to look out for

We still offer the same products and services but you will notice the following changes:

  • Literature - all our literature will be branded AEGON.
  • Fund names - our fund names will no longer make reference to Scottish Equitable International.
  • Website - our website address has also changed, to www.aegon.ie. If you forget and go to the old website address, you'll automatically be redirected to the new address.
