From 28 November 2025, we’re updating the name and objective of the Scottish Equitable Janus Henderson US Growth fund, available as part of our insured Pension, Life and Aegon Retirement Choices (ARC) fund ranges.
Nothing else about the fund will change because of this update.
The change in more detail
As a result of a review, we’re updating the fund objective so it’s consistent with the underlying fund. The fund objective explains how the fund invests and what it’s trying to achieve for investors. We're also updating the fund name to better reflect our brand.
Pension/Life
| Existing fund name | New fund name |
|---|---|
| Scottish Equitable Janus Henderson US Growth | Aegon Janus Henderson US Growth |
| Existing fund objective | New fund objective |
This fund aims to outperform the S&P 500 Index by at least 2.5% per year, before charges, over any 5-year period. It does so by investing at least 80% of its assets in a concentrated portfolio of shares (also known as equities) of companies, of any size, in any industry, in the United States. Companies will have their registered office in or do most of their business (directly or through subsidiaries) in the United States. The Scottish Equitable fund has higher charges than the underlying Janus Henderson fund and will therefore be less likely to meet this target. |

There’s no guarantee the fund will meet its objective. The value of an investment can fall as well as rise and isn’t guaranteed. Investors could get back less than they invest.
Investors will start to notice the changes on their online account, plan statement, in our literature and on our website from 28 November 2025 onwards. We’ll update our literature and our website as soon as we can, but investors may notice the old and new information in use for a time, for example on our fund factsheets.
