Aegon Pension reviews (222)

Good pension provider but need to work on the background

The pension negotiated with our company has very low costs and performance is reasonable. Communication is generally good and changing contributions and moving pensions has worked easily for me. The retire ready site is what I use most, however it would be much more useful if you could add existing pensions to the app, to give a better overview. Reviewed on: 18th September 2020

On Line Checker

Website works well, no complaints as such. Would prefer more stats e.g. I just see my portfolio value compared to its value 6 months ago (rolling).....I'd like more flexibility and range on the stats, e.g. current value versus this time last year, last 6 months, last 3 years etc etc Reviewed on: 18th September 2020

review of leaving a review

OK so trustpilot said i couldnt log in with google and here on smartmoney it was really hard to select product as the menu disappeared with every move of the mouse so leaving a review is a thumbs down from me Reviewed on: 11th September 2020

Highly invested in customer interaction

I am always receiving emails on getting involved with the Aegon community and giving feedback on all aspects of what Aegon have to offer. It makes me feel valued and engaged in the company dealing with my pension. Reviewed on: 8th September 2020

Good reliable service

I have a SIPP, General Investment Account and an an ISA with Aegon as a platform all in the same portfolio of funds recommended by my local large company IFA in the East Midlands. It all went down at the peak of the corona virus and is now slowly recovering, pretty much like my other investments. Aegon are mainly administrators for me and my IFA who do it well. Their web page is very good and different sorts can be made on the database to analyse performance, fees and dividends in an easy to understand manner. Reviewed on: 8th September 2020

Helpful advice tailored individually

Have been invested through Aegon for around 3 years and have been very impressed with their service. Each interaction has been very good with clear information being given. Timelines met on all occasions And any follow-up actioned promptly. Reviewed on: 8th September 2020

Doing OK in difficult times

We all know that the financial world is suffering during the Covid-19 pandemic. After a huge reduction in my pension fund in March 2020, over the last six months things have gradually recovered, not fully, but getting there. It'll be the same for all pension funds and companies. How Aegon compare to the others, I don't know. We just have to be patient, things will recover. Reviewed on: 8th September 2020

Very poor service

Unfortunately I have an old company pension plan with them. The info they offer is a bit limited to begin with, but the real issue is when you try to move your old plan to a new one. Then they throw at you every possible hurdle and unreasonable request. Any advisor will tell you that is a red flag and I wouldn't recommend any company or individual to use them, in fact, I would avoid them like the plague. Reviewed on: 29th July 2020
