Funds for Pension products

For Aviva and ex-Friends Life policies

Our funds for pension policies

We have a range of funds for Aviva and ex-Friends Life policies for you to take a look at. And once you’ve read all the relevant information, you can take a look at the Aviva Fund Centre. You can find out more about the risk/return ratings we assign here.

Aviva

Each product has a specific range of funds to choose from, which are sometimes further split into different types of ‘fund series’ according to when the fund was launched. If a fund has more than one series there may be a difference in the unit prices and charges. This could impact fund performance. If you’re an existing customer, you will have been assigned a particular fund range when you joined the plan.

We also offer a range of auto-switching options for different products. Visit here to learn more.

If you're unsure of your product name or fund range, you can check your annual statement (the fund series will be displayed as ‘S2’ or ‘(CGU)’ for example). If you don’t have your annual statement to hand, you can check our list of products.
