On 13 April 2026, we’re closing the Aegon Wells Fargo Emerging Markets Equity (BLK) fund, available as part of our Aegon TargetPlan fund range across all share classes.
To prepare for this, on or around 9 April 2026, we’ll move any remaining investors into the Aegon Dimensional Emerging Markets (BLK) fund.
We’re writing to those affected to let them know about the closure.
Why we’re closing the fund
As part of our fund governance process, we regularly monitor and refine our fund ranges. The Aegon Wells Fargo Emerging Markets Equity (BLK) fund hasn’t grown in size as we’d expected, so we’ve decided to close the fund.
More about the Aegon Dimensional Emerging Markets (BLK) fund
We’ve chosen this fund as we believe it’s the most broadly similar fund in our fund range in terms of where it invests and what it aims to do.
The investment objective of the fund is to maximise long-term total return.
There’s no guarantee the fund will meet its objective. The value of an investment can fall as well as rise and isn’t guaranteed. Investors could get back less than they invest.
For more information you can view the fund factsheet on the ‘Fund prices and performance’ page by selecting ‘TargetPlan funds’ and searching for the fund name.
What current investors need to do
If current investors are happy for their investment to move to the alternative fund, they don’t need to do anything. However, if investors feel this fund isn’t suitable for them, they can switch their investment and redirect any future investment, free of any switch charge, into an alternative fund or funds of their choice
If current investors wish to do this, they can view the funds available to their plan by logging into TargetPlan, selecting ‘Fund Information’ from the Dashboard and selecting the ‘Switch funds’ button to make the switch.
You should speak to a financial adviser if you need advice about your investments. There’s likely to be a charge for this. If you don’t have a financial adviser you can find one in your area by visiting www.moneyhelper.org.uk/choosing-a-financial-adviser.
