We think that AEGON is one of the best Dutch stocks at the moment.
* Q1 NET PROFIT 1.27 BILLION EUR Insurer Aegon: Q1 pretax income 366 mln euros, solvency rises to 208%
Summary We look at two Dutch insurance companies, Aegon and NN Group, to analyse the better Dutch insurance exposure on a comparative basis. Aegon wins out in terms of both dividend coverage and dividend yield, making it the preferred pick for income-oriented investors. Aegon's geographic exposures are also more attractive for the medium-to-long term due to its superior geographic exposures. Overall, Aegon is the winner, although with reservations due to its exposure to non-cyclicals and energy debt instruments in its investment portfolio. Aegon (AEG) is an integrated, diversified financial services group that offers innovative and effective savings and insurance solutions for customers worldwide
