Aegon (NYSE:AEG) 株価情報, オプションチェーン

Aegon

Aegon is a life insurance and long-term savings business listed in the Netherlands. It listed on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange in the 1980s and now has mature operations in the United States, United Kingdom, and four growth markets of Brazil, China, Portugal, and Spain. Over recent years, Aegon has been moving through an extensive transformation program where management has sought to divest noncore operations and improve the risk profile of the business. Financial assets are the parts of the group that are now being run off. Aegon is looking to cycle out of capital-consumptive and volatile-earnings products and recycle funds into capital-light and more predictable strategic businesses.

Spruce Point Capital Management, LLC ("Spruce Point" or "we" or "us"), a New York-based investment management firm that focuses on forensic research and short-selling, today issued a detailed report entitled, "Insuring Against An Aggressive MLM", that outlines why we believe and estimate that shares of Aegon Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEG#NYSE">AEG</a>, Euronext: AGN))) ("Aegon" or the "Company") face up to 25% – 50% potential long-term downside risk, or €2.99 – €4.67 ($3.14 – $4.91) per share.

&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;
Spruce Point Report Overview
Aegon is a global financial services company specializing in life insurance, pensions, and asset management. The Company offers a range of financial products and services for both individuals and businesses, including retirement planning, investment solutions, employee benefits, and life insurance policies. Founded in the Netherlands, Aegon operates in over 20 countries, including the United States, where it operates under the World Financial Group ("WFG") and Transamerica brands. Through its WFG brand, the Company distributes life insurance products to low and middle-income households across North America. As of the trailing 12 months ended June 30, 2024, the Company reported €18,641 million and €1,471 million of revenues and operating income, respectively.
The concerns we outline in our report include:
<ul>
<li>We believe that WFG generates a significant portion of Aegon's results and that WFG is operating an aggressive multi-level-marketing ("MLM") business that exposes Aegon to risk.
<ul>
<li>A <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fcasetext.com%2Fcase%2Fsellers-v-world-fin-grp%23%3A%7E%3Atext%3DBrittany%2520Sellers%2520brought%2520a%2520class%2Cwith%2520the%2520California%2520Labor%2520Code&amp;esheet=54167152&amp;newsitemid=20241216940051&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=recent+lawsuit&amp;index=2&amp;md5=ee5bb1b34e37659bba6182709083c449">recent lawsuit</a> alleges that WFG operates as an MLM, with <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fcasetext.com%2Fcase%2Fyeomans-v-world-fin-grp-ins-agency-inc-1&amp;esheet=54167152&amp;newsitemid=20241216940051&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=one+case&amp;index=3&amp;md5=7d529ca753aa11f6279a2c6165e779be">one case</a> going so far as to allege it is a "massive pyramid scheme". In response, WFG even recently addressed concerns about the legitimacy of its business to dispel the notion that it is a pyramid scheme on its <a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.archive.org%2Fweb%2F20231119085001%2Fhttps%3A%2Fwww.worldfinancialgroup.com%2Fis-wfg-a-legitimate-business&amp;esheet=54167152&amp;newsitemid=20241216940051&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=website&amp;index=4&amp;md5=d6a3e6cc6ad1439ef1efc6d6d27b232c">website</a>.</li>
<li>MLM business models are fraught with risk and frequently fail due to recruitment pressures to sustain growth and high agent turnover.</li>
<li>While MLMs are legal, pyramid schemes are not. The Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") provides warning signs to look for in identifying a pyramid scheme such as extravagant promises made by promoters about earnings potential, encouragement to buy the products, and playing on emotions or using high pressure tactics.</li>
<li>We estimate that WFG may be responsible for generating as much as 35% of Aegon America's operating income, equating to roughly 25% of Aegon's consolidated operating income. &nbsp;</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Our research found evidence of high-pressure tactics and failure to highlight product downside risks, which is consistent with some recent FTC complaints uncovered from a Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") request.
<ul>
<li>FTC complaints document a range of concerns such as high-pressure tactics, higher ups getting paid bonuses to recruit, failure to highlight product downside risks, and cult-like behavior. In our research process, we sent someone through the recruitment process who was told, "our biggest product is this business opportunity here. And of course, if you take advantage of the business opportunity, the first thing you want to do is put the mask on yourself. And take advantage of the products that we have to offer."</li>
<li>Moreover, WFG is highly dependent on the sale of Index Universal Life ("IUL") policies, which we estimate are 60%-70% of its new life product sales. IULs have come under fire as controversial insurance products due to their complexity and high fees, which makes them incredibly difficult for the average person to understand. WFG recruiters used highly aggressive language by making claims about IULs such as "…Because there's a guarantee that you won't lose any money," and "…It works as an investment on steroids. You get up to 13, 14, sometimes 20, 25, 30% interest," and "I-U-L remember, I told you to write down index universal life. If you can qualify for that baby, your future is brighter than the sun. You need sunglasses to see your future because it's so bright."</li>
<li>The recruiter also provided illustrations that indicated monthly earnings potential of $4,320 through four sales per month, when in reality agents make just 0.4 sales per month and the average agent makes approximately $6,500 per year, which does not include costs. The recruiter also used emotionally charged language suggesting that they were "at war" against financial issues, while multiple Elite Circle groups for higher level agents make use of questionable military and ideological symbolism in training programs.</li>
<li>Ultimately, we believe WFG is an aggressive MLM, and we call for WFG to implement more conservative practices and better oversight of agents to dispel allegations in the market that it is a pyramid scheme. &nbsp;</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>We believe an upstart competitor founded by one of WFG's former top producers may pose a threat to WFG's recruiting goals.
<ul>
<li>Global Financial Impact ("GFI")is a financial services platform recently founded by Eric Olson, who was at one point among WFG's top three producing agents. In roughly a year, GFI claims to have signed 26K new agents, with some being long-tenured top producers for WFG. By comparison, WFG aims to grow its agent force from ~82K today, to 110K by 2027. However, we believe GFI's early momentum may act as a major headwind to this goal.</li>
<li>In fact, the number of WFG multi-ticket agents declined on a sequential basis in Q3'24, which could be an indicator that Olson's GFI is having an impact. Moreover, website traffic data from Similarweb indicates that GFI has strong momentum year-to-date while WFG's traffic data has been declining. &nbsp;</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>We believe Aegon's sell-side analysis do not properly account for the structural risks that exist in the Company's North American WFG business.
<ul>
<li>Furthermore, with analysts projecting just 7% upside to consensus price targets, we do not believe there is a favorable risk / reward in owning shares given elevated regulatory risks for MLMs and growing competitive forces. Based on our sum-of-parts potential valuation, we estimate a long-term share price range of approximately €2.99 – €4.67 ($3.14 – $4.91) per share (25% – 50% downside risk).</li>
<li>We expect Aegon to underperform the insurance sector along with the broader equity market.</li>
</ul>

Spruce Point Raises Concerns Over Aegon's MLM Practices Amid Regulatory Risks

Aegon Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEG#NYSE">AEG</a>) shares are<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener"> trading higher on Friday.</a>
In its third-quarter trading update, the company reported 336 million euros ($353.91 million) in operating capital generation and raised its full-year 2024 guidance to 1.2 billion euros,<a href="https://www.aegon.com/newsroom/news/press-releases/2024/trading-update-3q-2024" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> up from 1.1 billion euros</a>.
Capital ratios for its main units remain solid, well above operating levels. A new 150 million euro share buyback program was announced, expected to be completed by mid-2025, which includes neutralizing shares issued for compensation plans.

Cash capital at the holding level stood at 1.5 billion euros as of Sept. 30, with plans to reach 1 billion euros by 2026.
The company completed a program to purchase institutionally owned universal life policies, though terminated policies hurt the US RBC ratio by 16% points.
However, a recovery of 8% points is expected in the fourth quarter. Despite strong momentum in Asset Management and the UK Workplace platform, the U.S. Strategic Assets faced volatility, and the UK Adviser platform continues to struggle amid challenging market conditions.
Aegon's next strategic phase aims for operating capital generation of around EUR1.2 billion from its units and free cash flow of approximately 800 million euros by 2025.
The company also plans to increase its dividend per share to about 0.40, contingent on approvals and market conditions. Gross financial leverage is expected to remain around 5 billion euro.
Aegon will provide an update on its strategy and targets at its Capital Markets Day on Dec. 10, 2025.
Price Action: Aegon shares are trading higher by 1.89% to $6.46 at last check Friday.

Life Insurance Firm Aegon Trades Higher As Capital Ratios 'Remain Solid'

<ul>
<li>Aegon today announces a planned new EUR 150 million share buyback program, consistent with its policy to return excess Cash Capital at Holding to shareholders in the absence of value-creating opportunities. Barring unforeseen circumstances, the share buyback program will start at the beginning of January 2025 and is expected to be completed on or before June 30, 2025. The start of this share buyback program will be announced separately in due course.&nbsp;</li>
<li>The new planned EUR 150 million share buyback program will include an amount of about EUR 40 million to meet Aegon's obligations resulting from the share-based compensation plans for senior management. The repurchased shares resulting from these compensation plans will be held as treasury shares until they are allocated to the plan participants. Aegon intends to cancel the remainder of the repurchased shares resulting from the new planned share buyback program, subject to any relevant approval.</li>

As of May 23, 2024, five stocks in the financial sector could be flashing a real warning to investors who value momentum as a key criteria in their trading decisions.
