Closure of the Aegon Janus Henderson China Opportunities fund
This update affects our Aegon One Retirement range.
On 18 August 2026, we’re closing the Aegon Janus Henderson China Opportunities (AOR) fund, available as part of our Aegon One Retirement (AOR) range.
When the fund closes, we’ll move any remaining investors into the Scottish Equitable Jupiter China (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 Janus Henderson China Opportunities (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 the fund closes, investors can stay invested in it. Then, on 18 August 2026, we’ll move their investment and all future investment into the Scottish Equitable Jupiter China (ARC) fund, free of any switch charge.

Scottish Equitable Jupiter China (ARC) fund objective |
|
The fund aims to provide a return, after charges, higher than that provided by the MSCI China Index over the long term (at least five years). At least 70% of the fund is invested in shares of companies based in Greater China (including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan). Up to 30% of the fund may be invested in other assets, including shares of companies based anywhere in the world, open-ended funds (including funds managed by Jupiter and its associates), cash and near cash. The Scottish Equitable fund has higher charges than the underlying Jupiter fund and will therefore be less likely to meet this target. |

You can find more information about this fund in the fund factsheet on our ‘Fund prices and performance page’. Select ‘Aegon Retirement Choices (ARC)’ then search for 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.
You should speak to a financial adviser in the first instance if you need advice about your investments. There’s likely to be a charge for this.
