From 31 March 2025, we’re changing the name of the Aegon HSBC Developed World Sustainable Equity (ARC) fund and the Aegon HSBC Developed World Sustainable Equity Index (BLK) fund. The new fund names are in the table below.
We’re writing to those invested in the funds to let them know about these changes.
Nothing else about the funds will change because of this update.
