Who we are
Our story started over 190 years ago, right here in the UK. We were originally founded as Scottish Equitable, but today we’re part of Aegon.
We’re the UK’s largest investment platform, and we put financial wellbeing at the heart of our organisation. We work with customers, financial advisers and employers to provide pensions, savings and investment solutions.
(00.03): Life.
(00.03): Beautiful. Breath-taking. Astonishing. Thrilling life.
(00.11): It can age you, if you let it.
(00.15): As a company, we've been helping people in the UK for over 190 years.
(00.21): And since then, we’ve watched people’s lives get longer and fuller.
(00.26): With more twists, turns and choices to make than ever before.
(00.33): Which is why today, we’re on a mission to help you make the most of every minute. Whether you’re just getting started or looking ahead to the next big step.
(00.43): We work closely with employers and advisers to bring you pensions, long-term savings and investment solutions. Which give you the confidence to chase your lifelong dreams – however big or small.
(00.56): To find the things that make you tick.
(00.59): To stay resilient through the tricky times, the tough times, the you-got-this times.
(01.05): And to leave behind a better world for all those to come.
(01.09): Your best life. It starts right here, right now.
We pride ourselves on being a force for good. Whether that’s reducing our environmental footprint, helping customers invest responsibly, or supporting our local communities.
We’re also a founding partner of the Institute of Financial Wellbeing and own educational platform Pension Geeks.
We’re there for people of all ages, at all stages of life.

Our purpose
We’re living longer than we ever imagined. With the next generation expected to live, on average, until they’re 100 years old, we know that the world around us is transforming. It’s time to say goodbye to the traditional three stages of life: study, work, retire.
Simply put, there’s no longer a standard path through life. Today, there are as many options as life opportunities – and we’re excited about what this means for you. That’s why our purpose is to
Help people live their best lives
