From 31 March 2025, we’re updating the fund objective for the Aegon Schroder Global Cities Property Income fund, available as part of our insured Pension and Aegon Retirement Choices (ARC) fund ranges.
Nothing else about the fund will change because of this.
The changes in more detail
The underlying fund manager, Schroders, has updated the fund objective of the underlying fund to better reflect how the fund is managed.
The fund objective explains how the fund invests and what it’s trying to achieve for investors.
To make sure our version of the fund matches the underlying fund, we’re updating it.
There are more details in the table below, with the changes to the fund objective highlighted:
Existing fund objective |
New fund objective |

There’s no guarantee the fund will meet its objectives. The value of an investment can fall as well as rise and is not guaranteed. Investors could get back less than they pay in.
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.
What current investors need to do
Existing investors don’t need to do anything.
