From 20 December 2024, we’re changing the name of the Scottish Equitable Stewart Investors Asia Pacific Leaders Sustainability fund available as part of our insured Pension, Life and ARC fund ranges.

Nothing else about the fund will change because of this update.

The change in more detail

The underlying fund manager, Stewart Investors, has changed the name of their fund. So, for consistency we’re changing our version of the fund to match the underlying fund. The fund’s short names, which appear on plan statements, will also change. Details are in the tables below:

What current investors need to do

Existing investors don’t need to do anything.

We’ll update our literature and our website as soon as we can, but investors may notice the old and new information in use for a time (for example on our fund factsheets).

More information about this fund can be found on the ‘Fund prices and performance’ page on our website and selecting either ‘Other fund ranges’ or ‘Aegon Retirement Choices (ARC)’
