Aegon Ireland has launched six new protected funds aimed at advisers who have clients interested in some form of equity exposure while maintaining a degree of capital protection.
The new protected fund range covers different equity markets including North America, Europe, Japan, Asia, the UK and global emerging markets.
David Aaron, Marketing Communications Manager for Investment Products at Aegon said: “Signs of improvements in stock markets are continuing, however many people who are nearing or already in retirement remain nervous about investing large proportions of their money into equities. These funds may be suited to advisers who have clients looking for a degree of certainty with their investments”.
