By BlackRock, for BlackRock
The new strategy will be designed and managed by BlackRock, for our people in the UK. A first of its kind and built with our global expertise and local insight.
If you’re invested in the current default strategy - the Aegon LifePath Flexi Strategy – you’ll be automatically transferred on April 1, 2026.
So if you want to take advantage of this opportunity, all you have to do is... nothing!
More time for growth
This new default strategy has been built with BlackRock employees in mind, reflecting who we are today and how our needs may change over time.
It's designed to be flexible, so it can adapt as markets evolve and as our workforce grows and changes without you needing to do anything. That means the strategy can continue to support you throughout your career and into retirement.
Simply put, it's a default that's made to fit our people, and to keep working for BlackRock employees well into the future.
Opening access to private markets
Within the Growth Fund, 20% of your investments will be allocated to our Long-Term Assets Fund – known as BlackRock Diversified Alternative Strategies ("DAS") LTAF. This fund invests in private markets, including private equity, real estate and infrastructure.
The LTAF gives you access to investment opportunities that have previously only been accessible to large institutional investors and are predicted to bring stronger long-term growth.
Kinder by default
We’re making changes, while always staying true to our ethical and sustainability principles.
Zero fees
BlackRock will cover all fees associated with the new default strategy, including any annual management charges.
This means more of your money is invested for growth.
