Ageas is a Belgium‐based international insurance group that offers a comprehensive range of life and non‐life insurance products and services. Headquartered in Brussels, the company operates through a network of subsidiaries and partnerships, delivering customized solutions for individual, corporate and institutional clients. Its non‐life offerings include property and casualty coverages such as motor, home, and liability insurance, while its life insurance division provides savings, protection and pension products designed to meet long‐term financial planning needs.
The company traces its origins to the establishment of Assurances Générales de Belgique in 1824 and underwent significant transformation after the financial crisis of 2008, when the former Fortis group was restructured. In 2010, Ageas emerged as an independent entity with a renewed strategic focus on core insurance markets. Since then, it has pursued a balanced growth strategy that combines organic expansion with selective alliances and joint ventures in target regions.
Ageas serves customers across Europe and Asia, with major operations in Belgium, the United Kingdom and Ireland, and a growing footprint in fast‐developing Asian markets such as Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, China, India and Vietnam. Its partnership model enables it to collaborate with local financial institutions, leveraging existing distribution channels to drive market penetration. This approach has allowed Ageas to adapt products to local regulatory environments and consumer preferences while maintaining global best practices in risk management.
Under the leadership of Chairman Piet Huysentruyt and Chief Executive Officer Bart De Smet, Ageas employs a multidisciplinary team of professionals committed to digital innovation and customer‐centric solutions. The group places strong emphasis on sustainability, corporate governance and community engagement, integrating environmental, social and governance principles into its underwriting and investment activities. By combining deep industry expertise with a forward‐looking business model, Ageas aims to deliver long‐term value to its policyholders and stakeholders.
