This is only a guide, only you and your adviser can decide the default fund that's right for your scheme.

The risk levels shown here were created by Aegon and shouldn't be compared to those from other providers, which may have been developed using different criteria. Please read the full risk level descriptions and fund factsheets for full details of risks and charges that apply before deciding which fund to choose.

If you don't want to choose a fund, Aegon’s in-house default fund, Aegon Workplace Default is designed to adapt to the changing needs of pension scheme members.

There's no guarantee the funds will meet their objectives.

The value of an investment can fall as well as rise and isn’t guaranteed. The value of your pension pot when you come to take benefits may be less than has been paid in. Where scheme members remain invested in retirement, any income payments will have a negative impact on savings and savings may run out too soon. Those who cash-in retirement savings will be subject to income tax on any savings over the tax-free allowance (currently 25%). This information is based on our understanding of current taxation law and HMRC practice, which may change.
