Flexibility and choice is what Aegon Retirement Choices (ARC) offers you, whether you’re saving for retirement through a self-invested personal pension (SIPP), or for a rainy day through your individual savings account (ISA) or general investment account (GIA).
With over 5,000 investment options (as at December 2023), it offers choice when you need it and simplicity when you don’t, letting you build sophisticated portfolios or use quality off-the-shelf solutions.
Remember, the value of investments can go down as well as up and isn’t guaranteed. You could end up with less than you invested.
ARC offers a huge range of over 5,000 investment options which your adviser can use to build an investment portfolio that exactly matches your savings goals and risk appetite.
This includes:
- Insured funds – SIPP only
- Collectives (open-ended investment funds like unit trusts or OEICs)
- Over 200 responsible investment funds (as at December 2022)
- Equities (company shares)
- Investment trusts (a type of closed ended investment fund)
- Exchange-traded funds (ETFS)
Investment trusts, ETFs and more complex investments are only available through an adviser.
