Update to the charges for the Aegon HSBC Life Islamic Global Equity Index fund
From 5 February 2026, we reduced the charges for the Aegon HSBC Life Islamic Global Equity Index fund, available as part of our insured Pension and Aegon Retirement Choices (ARC) fund ranges.
Nothing else about the fund will change because of this.
The change in more detail
The underlying fund manager, HSBC, reduced the charges for the underlying fund, so we reduced the charges on our version of the fund.
