On 21 August 2025, we’re closing the Aegon CT Asia (AOR) fund, available as part of our One Retirement (AOR) fund range.
When the fund closes, we’ll move investors into the Scottish Equitable Invesco Asian (ARC) fund unless they tell us to move it to a different fund before then.
We’re writing to all those affected to let them know about the closure.
Why we’re closing the fund
As part of our fund governance process, we regularly monitor and refine our fund ranges. The Aegon CT Asia (AOR) fund hasn’t grown in size as we’d expected, so we’ve decided to close the fund.
What this means for investors
Until it closes, investors can stay invested in this fund. Then, on 21 August 2025, we’ll move their investment and all future investment into the Scottish Equitable Invesco Asian (ARC) fund, free of any switch charge.

1This is on top of any product or adviser charge and includes a fixed management fee, plus expenses that vary with the day-to-day costs of running the fund.
You can find more information about the alternative fund in the fund factsheet on the ‘Fund prices and performance’ page of our website by viewing ‘Aegon Retirement Choices (ARC)’ and searching by the fund name.
There’s no guarantee the fund will meet its objectives. The value of an investment can fall as well as rise and is not guaranteed. Investors could get back less than they’ve paid in.
What current investors need to do
If current investors are happy for their investment to move to the alternative fund, they don’t need to do anything. However, if investors feel that this fund isn’t suitable for them, they can move their investment with no switch charge, into a different fund or funds by logging into their online account.
If you’re invested in this fund you should speak to your financial adviser, if you have one, about your options before making any decisions. There may be a cost for this. If you don’t have a financial adviser, you can find one in your area by visiting moneyhelper.org.uk/choosing-a-financial-adviser or contact Origen Financial Services.
