In what’s shaping up as a battle of big fish, bigger fish, the Times reported that three companies were interested in acquiring U.K. Mutual life and pension insurer Liverpool Victoria, at the same time that it is trying to acquire Scottish Life.

Leading the pack is Holland’s Aegon, parent of Transamerica and already the owner of Scottish Equitable. It’s joined by Life Assurance Holdings Corp., a private investment group, and Securitas, a joint venture between Swiss Re and Credit Suisse First Boston.

Reuters quoted a Liverpool Victoria spokesman as saying, “We are not aware of any offers being made.”|”3, insurers, reported, seeking, u.k., ‘s, liverpool, victoria,
