Review of the Aegon, Pension:

View on product page

Where has over one third of my investment GONE, AEGON?

My pension pot was with Scottish Equitable, now Aegon. From 2017 to 2020 the value increased by almost 18% - excellent! But since then it's dropped by over 35%, mostly over the last 12 months. OK, there's a war going on in Europe, but how could the so-called Fund Manager allow it to crash so badly - especially as it's a supposedly a safe retirement fund with 75% in government bonds and 25% in cash?

Review of the Aviva, Pension:

Loosing value

I had a pension pot with Friends Life which was transferred to Aviva. At first it seemed to be doing well with Aviva, with a fund value of £20827 in 2018, £21707 in 2019, then £23534 in 2020. But, since then, it's fallen to £22786 in April 2021, and now it's down to £18014. That's a loss of over 23% since 2020 (or 13.5% since 2018). Of course, values can fluctuate, but this downward trend is very worrying. Reviewed on: 28th January 2022
