AG Insurance

What AG Insurance does

AG Insurance is Belgium's market-leading insurance company, founded in 1824 and headquartered in Brussels. The company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ageas SA/NV following Ageas's April 2026 acquisition of the remaining 25% stake from BNP Paribas Fortis for €1.9 billion, a transaction that valued AG Insurance at approximately €7.6 billion. AG Insurance provides a comprehensive suite of insurance products spanning life insurance (term, whole life, investment-linked), non-life insurance (property, casualty, auto, liability), health insurance, savings products, and protection insurance. The company serves three primary customer segments: individual consumers and families (Particulieren), self-employed professionals and SMEs (Zelfstandigen & KMO), and corporate clients seeking employee benefits and group insurance programs.

AG Insurance distributes its products primarily through a long-standing bancassurance partnership with BNP Paribas Fortis — a 15-year agreement renewed in December 2025 that covers savings, protection, and property & casualty insurance distributed through BNP Paribas Fortis's branch network across Belgium. Secondary distribution occurs through independent insurance broker channels. The company employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people and operates exclusively within the Belgian market. As part of the broader transaction restructuring, BNP Paribas Cardif increased its stake in Ageas from 14.9% to 22.5% via a €1.1 billion investment, and Ageas raised its holding free cash flow target from €2.3 to €2.6 billion.

The business model is a traditional insurance premium and investment income model, generating revenue from gross written premiums across life and non-life lines, investment returns on reserves, and fees from group insurance and employee benefits programs. AG Insurance also invests in brand-building through a multi-year title sponsorship of the AG Insurance – Soudal UCI Women's WorldTour cycling team (extended through 2030) and supporting partnerships with cycling apparel, technology, and consumer brands. With over 200 years of operating history, AG Insurance functions as Ageas's Belgian flagship insurance franchise rather than an independent growth-stage company.
