Aug 22 (Reuters) - Dutch insurer Aegon beat expectations
for its key capital generation metric in the first half of the
year, despite "unfavorable mortality" in the United States, it
said on Thursday. 
    Its half-year operating capital generation before holding
funding and operating expenses fell 5% year-on-year to 588
million euros ($655 million), but beat the average estimate of
551 million from a company-compiled poll of analysts.
($1 = 0.8975 euros)
