Name changes for three Aegon Standard Life (BLK) funds
From 31 July 2025, we’re changing the name of three Aegon Standard Life funds. We’re also updating one of the fund objectives to remove references to the old fund name.
The fund objective explains how the fund invests and what it’s trying to achieve for investors.
Nothing else about the funds will change because of this.
The changes in more detail
The underlying fund manager, aberdeen Investments, is changing the name of their funds. To make sure our version of the funds matches the underlying funds, we’re updating them.

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 pay in.
Investors will start to notice the name change on their online account, plan statement, in our literature and on our website from 31 July 2025 onwards. We’ll update our literature as soon as we can, but investors may notice both the old and new information in use for a time, for example on our fund factsheets.
What current investors need to do
Existing investors don’t need to do anything.
You should speak to a financial adviser in the first instance if you’re invested in this fund and need advice about your investments. There’s likely to be a charge for this.
