2 AEGON Sony Life Insurance Co., Ltd.
Thank you very much for your continued choice and
patronage of Aegon Sony Life. Aegon Sony Life is a
life insurance company founded in December 2009 as
a joint venture between Sony Life and Aegon. Both
companies share comparable values and the aim to
leverage each other’s know-how in order to provide
solutions that can help to secure the fi nancial needs
of Japanese customers in retirement.
Aegon is a global enterprise, operating in more
than 20 countries including the Americas, Europe
and Asia, with its core businesses centered on life
insurance, pensions and asset management. Aegon
Sony Life works closely with each of its parent
companies in order to achieve its goals. Aegon
Sony Life leverages Aegon’s sophisticated know-
how of retirement products and bancassurance and
the quality services of Sony Life, which have been

“We commit ourselves to transforming

enriching annuity.”
Japanese society is facing pension challenges,
with a rapidly aging society, declining birth rate,
increased longevity and declining government
pension subsidies. These factors place a strain on
the country’s resources and particularly infl uence
postretirement fi nancial needs making it all the
more important for individuals to prepare their own
fi nancial protection for their post-retirement lives.

FY2016 Overview
Economic Environment
The fi rst half of the fi scal year 2016 can be characterized by low interest rates. The Bank of Japan introduced a
negative policy rate in January of 2016 and in addition, the UK decided on leaving the European Union, leading to
new risk-off attitudes. Interest rates, however, recovered slowly mainly due rising interest rates in the US as well
as due to a rise of the stock market in Japan. As a result, the long term interest rate (10 year JGB yield),
recovered into the positive at the end of the fi scal year and the Nikkei index increased compared to the end of
FY2015.
Operating Results
Aegon Sony Life has been working to provide customer-centric services, improve its fi nancial strength and its
internal control management in order to achieve the sustainable growth as a trusted company that customers
choose. The Company successfully developed and launched its fi rst foreign currency (USD and AUD)
denominated product with minimum guarantee of the single premium amount in May 2016. In addition, the
Company successfully released its second foreign currency (USD) denominated product with guaranteed
withdrawal benefi t in October of 2016. The Company increased its product line-up to better match customer
needs and Aegon Sony Life is also working towards developing a variety of annuity products in FY2017. The
Company is committed to provide a wider range of solutions in the future that the customer can chose from. At
last, the company is focusing on digitization in order to improve the service provided to its customers and
business partners and to improve its internal effi ciency.
Regarding marketing, the Company extended its detailed training activities for agencies in the area of sales,
products and after-sale follow up. As a result, partnerships with new fi nancial institutions increased to 29 partners
by the end of FY2016. Aegon Sony Life will continue to establish new partnerships in order to provide people with
fi nancial security all over Japan.
In a challenging market environment, the Company continued to operate under the slogan of “Transforming
the traditional annuity into a truly life enriching annuity”. In combination with the focus on consulting sales, in force
annuities increased 12.9 percent to ¥501,784 million representing 85,942 policies. The Solvency Margin Ratio of
the company ended at 986.7%, exceeding the regulatory criteria for fi nancial soundness which is set at 200%,
demonstrating the company’s stability and ability to stay solvent.
With the FSA communicating its principles of Fiduciary Duty to the public, Aegon Sony Life feels encouraged
to continue its current path. The customer has always been in the heart of everything the Company does. In order
to further promote customer centricity, the Company established its customer oriented business conduct policy,
which is a refl ection of the Company`s management philosophy and Credo. With initiatives in FY2016 such as
releasing movies that explain products and increasingly making customers aware of the internet service, the
Company is dedicated and committed to fulfi ll its fi duciary duty to its customers.

to provide greater service and fi nancial security throughout their customers’ lives.

Aegon
Headquartered in The Hague, the Netherlands, Aegon is one of the world’s leading fi nancial services organizations,
providing life insurance, pensions and asset management. Aegon’s history dates back to the mid-1800s,
when two civil servants helped provide funds for people to bury their loved ones with dignity. More than 170
years on, the customers remain at the heart of everything we do.
Corporate Profi le (As of December 31, 2016)
Established Capital: € 8.193 billion
Number of Employees: over 29,000
Total Assets: € 426 billion
Managed Assets: € 743 billion
Headquarters: The Hague, The Netherlands
Creating Meaningful Connections2016 was a year full of achievements and change for Aegon. The operational and fi nancial successes are
ultimately the result of customers placing their trust in Aegon, and Aegon is proud that it’s helping millions
of people achieve a lifetime of fi nancial security.
Aegon focuses on developing a life-long relationship with its customers so that it can serve their fi nancial
needs at all the major fi nancial junctures in their lives; rather than on a one-off basis. In order to accomplish
this, Aegon needs to get much closer to its customers and connect with them how and when they wish. To
this end, Aegon will step up its work to provide guidance and advice to customers and accelerate investments
in digital solutions.
Aegon is well-positioned to take advantage of the many opportunities in its markets by connecting with
ever more customers and meeting their needs in a smooth and seamless way across their lifetime. This
gives Aegon confi dence it will achieve its strategic and fi nancial objectives, and also create long-term value
for customers and therefore shareholders alike.
Raising AwarenessIn developed countries, the proportion of the population aged 60-plus has increased from 12% in 1950 to
22% in 2010, and will increase to 32% by 2050. Children born in high-income countries today can expect
to live to see their 100th birthday, and life expectancy in low and middle-income countries is on the rise
thanks to poverty alleviation, improved nutrition and medical science. As a result, the need for long-term
fi nancial security across the world can only grow.
This key demographic trend of aging, frequently cited by global researchers, is attributed to healthcare
advancements, birth rate decline, and poverty alleviation. For over a decade, Aegon has highlighted the
impact longevity will have on society and individuals who, without adequate preparation, will outlive their
money. In addition to publishing its annual Aegon Retirement Readiness Survey and a number of other
consumer and healthcare studies, research and pulse checks, Aegon draws together research on aging
and retirement from Europe, the Americas, and Asia through the
Aegon Center for Longevity and Retirement (ACLR). The Center
collaborates with the US-based Transamerica* Institute, a
non-profit private foundation, which includes the
Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies and the
Transamerica Center for Health Studies, based in Los
Angeles, California.
* In the United States, Aegon mainly operates under the Transamerica brand

Ever since the business inception of December 2009, the Company aims to facilitate a lifetime of fi nancial security
under the slogan of “Transforming the traditional annuity into a truly life enriching annuity” and through stating that

employees in 2012.
In order to clarify and further promote ASLIC’s customer centricity, which is also embedded into the Company`s
management philosophy and Credo, the Company established its “Customer Oriented Business Conduct Policy”.
This was inspired by “The principle on Customer Oriented Business Conduct”, which was published by the FSA in
March of 2017.
The details of the “Customer Oriented Business Conduct Policy” and the initiatives that the Company takes in
the context of this policy are published on the corporate homepage.
Customer Feedback System
Under the management philosophy of aiming to become the company most trusted by customers, Aegon Sony
Life has formulated an operational policy for handling customer feedback that involves sincerely listening and
making every effort to improve services.
The Company collects and analyzes customer feedback at its Customer Relation Management Section under
the Sales Management Division and promotes operational improvements to strengthen relations with customers
and raise their overall satisfaction.
For issues with a particularly high degree of urgency or importance, information is shared and deliberations on
improvement measures are held by the Customer Relations Committee, which was established to make
appropriate and strategic management decisions. The results of the discussions are either reported to or
discussed in the Management Committee.
The Customer Relations Forum, established under the Customer Relations Committee, coordinates initiatives
to improve operations with and between departments.
The Customer Complaints Offi ce is dedicated to appropriately and promptly respond to complaints. It strives
to understand the customer, to analyze the complaint the Company receives and to prevent recurrence.

the basic policies outlined by the Board of Directors for establishing such a system.

Basic Policy
Risk Management Structure
Aegon Sony Life has an interdivisional, company-wide risk management structure for dealing with operating and
management risks. The Company uses appropriate risk management to ensure that operations are solid and
reliable in order to protect the interests of policyholders and other stakeholders.
Aegon Sony Life strengthens its risk management structure each year in order to manage risks based on the above
policy. Insurance companies must meticulously control certain risks while also comprehensively managing all risks.
The Company employs the structure outlined below for appropriate risk management that is both specifi c and yet
still comprehensive.
The Company assigns divisions responsibility for managing specifi c types of risk in order to control them appropriately.
The Risk & Capital Committee, which advises the Management Committee, governs the information regarding each type
of risk. This committee engenders horizontal, company-wide risk management by centralizing jurisdiction over collecting
information and setting policy. The Risk & Capital Committee includes the President, the Chief Actuary and the general
managers of each division responsible for risk management. The auditors and the general manager of the Internal Audit
Division also attend committee meetings to provide an appropriate check and balance.
In addition, Aegon Sony Life is working on the enhancement of its crisis management capabilities. This includes
revising its business continuity plan based on experience garnered through the Great East Japan Earthquake that
occurred in March 2011.

Policies for Addressing Risk
Risk Risk Management Policy
Asset management risk
Given the importance of integrated asset and liability management, the Company determines asset allocation after taking issues including liability characteristics and equity capital into account. In addition, it has upgraded system checks and balances in order to ensure its effectiveness.
Underwriting risk
Insurance underwriting has a profound, long-term impact on operations. The Company therefore appropriately manages underwriting risk based on the status of its policy reserves and equity capital. In addition, it regularly verifi es the profi tability of both new and existing products.
Use of reinsurance* The Company uses reinsurance as necessary to appropriately manage underwriting risk and employs rigorous criteria for credit ratings and other factors to select reinsurance companies. The Company also regularly reconfi rms the soundness of the reinsurance companies it uses. The Company does not underwrite reinsurance.
Aegon Sony Life manages and reduces the administrative risk inherent in corporate operations to ensure they are appropriate. The Company formulates and disseminates internal rules and prepares and disseminates manuals, while conducting regular inspections and internal audits to ensure their effectiveness.
Administrative risk
Systems riskThe Company implements various measures to achieve stable operation of computer systems and prevent accidents and other problems. It has also installed backup centers at remote locations and upgraded its contingency plan.
Liquidity riskTo the degree possible, the Company prepares for unforeseeable contingencies by limiting the use of non-liquid investments in asset management and by adequately managing cash requirements including overdraft protection as necessary.
Legal riskThe Company strives to understand, practice and improve legal matters in accordance with the compliance. When risk materializes, the Company takes various response measures in order to minimize the loss.
Reputational riskThe Company strives to constantly be aware that adverse information will not spread in Japan and abroad and corresponds to such events adequately with close cooperation of divisions.
Human riskThe Company carries out appropriate human resource and labor management and strives to educate employees in such a way accidents will not arise.
Tangibleasset risk
The company strives to facilitate smooth business operations through its tangible assets and when risks arise, response adequately while minimizing the losses.
* Reinsurance entails underwriting by an insurance company of a portion of the risk during the period of a contract entered into by
another insurance company. Reinsurance enables the appropriate dispersal of the risk involved in insurance underwriting.
The Company periodically subjects its assumptions for various contingencies to stress tests. The Risk & Capital
Committee uses the test results in confi rming fi nancial stability.

Signifi cant Accounting Policies
1. Valuation of securities (including cash and deposits that are treated as securities and securities managed as trust assets in
monetary trusts) is as follows. Trading securities are stated at market value, and sales cost is determined by the moving-
average method. Available-for-sale securities for which market prices are available are stated at market value based on market
prices as of the closing date of the fi scal year under review, and sales cost is determined by the moving-average method.
Unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities are reported as a separate component of net assets.
2. Derivatives are stated at market value.
3. Tangible fi xed assets are depreciated by the following method;
• Property and equipment
Declining-balance method (however, straight-line method is applied for buildings and accompanying facilities, fi xtures
acquired on and after April 1st 2016).
(Change in the Accounting Policy)
Upon revision of the Corporation Tax Act, we applied for the current business year, “Practical Solution on the Change in
the Depreciation Method due to the Tax Reform in 2016.” (Practical Solution Report No. 32 on June 17th 2016) and have
changed the depreciation method for buildings and accompanying facilities, fi xtures from declining balance to straight line
method.
This change does not affect our ordinary loss and net loss before tax for the accounting period.
• Lease assets
Leased assets concerning non-ownership transfer fi nance/lease transactions
Straight line method is used with lease period as the useful life and residual value at zero.
• Estimated useful lives are as follows:
Property 8-15 years
Equipment 5-15 years
4. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated into Japanese yen using exchange rates at the balance
sheet date.
5. (1) As preparation for losses on doubtful accounts, an allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated as follows based on the
self-assessment rule for assets and the rules for write-off and allowance.
For debt in which the debtors are legally and formally bankrupt by such measures as fi ling under the Civil Rehabilitation
Law or the Bankruptcy Law and are substantially bankrupt in terms of their business operations and for debt in which the
debtors are actually bankrupt, of which the collectible amount has remarkably decreased, the allowance amount is
calculated as the principal balance less the amounts collectible from foreclosing collateral and from the loan’s third-party
guarantors.
For debt in which debtors are currently not bankrupt in terms of their business operations but have been determined to
have a high likelihood of going into bankruptcy, the necessary allowance amount is calculated by taking into consideration
overall ability of the debtor to pay the amount remaining after deducting the amount of collateral that is expected to be
recoverable and guarantee amounts that are determined to be recoverable.
For debt other than that described above, the reserve amount is calculated in accordance with historical credit loss
ratios over a specifi c period of time.
For all debt, the allowance amount is calculated in accordance with the self-assessment rule for assets and rules for
write-off and allowance conducted by the appropriate division and audited by an independent audit division.
Note that based on the results of the above assessment, we concluded all debts are collectible, thus no allowance was
recognized.
(2) The Company provides reserves for directors’ and auditors’ retirement benefi ts, in preparation for the payment of directors’
and auditors’ retirement benefi ts, based on amounts necessary at the end of the year according to internal rules.
6. Reserves for price fl uctuations are provided for according to Article 115 of the Insurance Business Law of Japan as reserves
for price fl uctuations on stocks and others.
7. (1) Consumption taxes are excluded from operating expenses. The deferred consumption tax for fi xed assets is recorded as
‘prepaid expense’ and amortized for 5 years. Other than the deferred consumption tax are recorded as expenses to the
fi scal year.
(2) Policy reserves are provided for according to Article 116 of the Insurance Business Law of Japan. Premium reserve is
calculated in accordance with the method determined by the Financial Services Agency (Ministry of Finance Directive
48, 1996).
170914_01_SLA17e_1C_19-54 2.indd 27 2017/10/10 9:32
28 AEGON Sony Life Insurance Co., Ltd.
(3) Intangible fi xed assets are depreciated by the straight-line method. Internal-use software is also depreciated by the
straight-line method over its estimated useful life.
(4) The calculation of deferral amount and amortization of “Deferred expenses under Article 113 of the Insurance Business
Law of Japan” is based on the Insurance Business Law of Japan and the Company’s articles of incorporation.
Notes to Non-Consolidated Balance Sheets for FY2016
1. Accumulated depreciation of tangible fi xed assets amounted to ¥126 million.
2. The amount of total assets for separate account in accordance with the provisions set forth in Article 118, Paragraph 1 of
the Insurance Business Law of Japan was ¥464,514 million. The amount of total liabilities was the same.
3. Total receivables due to affi liated companies amounted to ¥76 million and payables due from affi liated companies amounted
to ¥304 million.
4. Deferred tax assets totaled ¥7,795 million and deferred tax liabilities were ¥1,411 million. Valuation allowance totaling ¥6,897
million was excluded from deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets consisted mainly of net tax loss carried forward ¥6,265
million and insurance reserves of ¥1,012 million. Deferred tax liabilities arose mainly from ‘Deferred Expenses (Article 113)’ of
¥1,406 million. The effective tax rate is 28.24% for this fi scal year and the actual tax burden after the application of tax
adjustment is 6.28%. The difference is due to valuation allowance for deferred tax asset-21.80%.
5. For reserve of outstanding claims, ¥22 million of reinsurance credit was recognized. For policy reserves, ¥27,319 million of
reinsurance credit was recognized.
6. Net assets per share amounted to ¥191.28.
7. Balance of reinsurance contract related unamortized ceding commission at the end of the fi scal year, as is stipulated in the
1996 Ministry of Finance of Japan Directive Number 50 Article 1 Paragraph 5, was ¥ 3,558 million.
8. For the investment of general account assets, assets excluding separate account assets stipulated in Article 118, Paragraph 1
of the Insurance Business Law, we are conducting continuous and smooth investment activities to achieve stable profi t over
the mid-to-long term as well as making efforts to maintain a sound fi nancial position by diversifying risks.
Based on this policy, in practice, we are investing in Japanese yen-denominated fi xed-income products such as domestic
bonds, short-term fi nancial products and so on. We did not make derivative investments in this fi scal year. And there was no
transaction and position of derivatives during this fi scal year.
Note that investment securities, as our main fi nancial products, are exposed to market risks and credit risks.
In terms of investment-related risk management, we are maintaining and improving the structure based on the Investment
Risk Management Policy.
To manage market risk, management implication of investment activities and risk limit allowed considering the balance
against management resources are clearly stipulated in the Investment Limit Management Rule. These are frequently
monitored by the Investment Division and reported to the Risk Management Committee. The Risk Management Committee
reports the status of the risk management to the Management Committee and Board of Directors (BOD).
To manage credit risk, the risk limit allowed is clearly stipulated in the Investment Limit Management Rule to avoid credit
risk concentration of a specifi c enterprise, group and so on. These are frequently monitored by the Investment Division and
reported to the Risk Management Committee. The Risk Management Committee reports the status of the risk management to
the Management Committee and BOD.
For investment of the separate account defi ned in Article 118, Paragraph 1 of the Insurance Business Law, investment
trusts are used while paying attention such that the expectations for VA products are met. Note that the status of separate
accounts investment is periodically monitored by the Investment Division and reported to the Risk Management Committee.
The Risk Management Committee reports to the Management Committee and BOD.
The amount on the balance sheet, fair value and amount of differences of the fi nancial asset and liability are as below.

Asset Management Indices (General Account)
1. Asset management
(1) Status of invested assets for FY2016
Operating Environment
The Japanese economy in FY2016 was affected by the dull overseas economy, the unfavorable consumer spending and the
unfavorable private non-residential investments in the fi rst half of the year. However, the economy slowly picked up due to
an improvement in the employment and income environment. The growth of the cost of living decreased by factors as the
decline in crude oil prices. As a result, FY2016 real GDP growth rate (government prospect) is estimated to be about 1.3%.
Equity market showed ups and downs after “Brexit” (withdrawal of the UK from the EU) in June, but later increased due
increasing expectations towards the new administration in the US, the rise in US interest rates and the depreciation of JPY.
Nikkei average at the end of march 2017 was 2,151 higher than the end of the previous fi scal year and ended at 18,909.
In the bond market, after the introduction of negative interest rates by the BOJ, interest rates declined further in the fi rst
half of the fi scal year in the context of increasing risk averseness after “Brexit”. Due to increasing interest rates in the US and
increasing stock prices in Japan, long term interest rates recovered to the plus. 10 year JGB yield at the end of March was
0.115 points higher than the previous year, resulting in 0.065%.
In the foreign exchange market, the yen appreciated due to the risk avoidance trend in the fi rst half of the fi scal year,
falling behind ¥100 per USD. The yen weakened due to the interest rate hike in the US leading to a larger gap between
interest rates in Japan and the US and increasing stock prices. Exchange rate at the end of March was ¥112.19 per USD,
¥0.49 yen higher than the end of the previous fi scal year.
Investment policy
The Company mainly invests shareholder capital in the general account. The Company’s investment focuses on safety and
liquidity seeking profi t for the middle and long-term to ensure the sound management of the company.
The investment policy is to invest mainly short-term fi xed-interest assets such as public/corporate bonds, deposits and
savings, and not in high risk instruments such as stocks or foreign equities.
Investment performance summary
Status of investment result of invested assets in the general account were mainly bank deposits, savings and Japanese
government bonds that are safe, highly liquid and yield stable profi t.
Gains from the investment was ¥23 million, partly due to the sales start of foreign currency denominated products and
the exchange gains and losses due to foreign currency transactions related to these products. Balance of the general
account at the end of March 2017 was ¥13.956 billion.
