Fund Choice
Flexibility is at the heart of our ARC fund range. With over 4,000 investment options, it caters for savers with different investment needs – whether they’re building savings, approaching retirement or taking an income.
It offers choice when you need it and simplicity when you don’t, letting you build sophisticated portfolios or use quality off-the-shelf solutions.
It includes:
- Fund solutions designed to meet defined savings needs, which we actively manage and rebalance so you don’t have to.
- A wide range of investment types, with many funds available in a SIPP, ISA or GIA.
- Insured funds that are backed by our Funds Promise.

Our Funds Promise
Most platforms offer a large choice of investments and ARC is no different.
However, if you choose an insured fund on ARC (i.e. a fund whose name starts with ‘Aegon’ or ‘Scottish Equitable’) it’s backed by full fund governance. These funds are monitored by us to check whether they’re offering quality and performance consistent with our Funds Promise(Opens new window). This offers you and your clients a degree of reassurance not normally associated with platform investing.
There’s no guarantee that fund objectives will be met. The value of an investment can fall as well as rise and investors may get back less than originally invested.
