Following a review, Aberdeen are making some changes to how they operate their funds.
Standard Life will be updating our fund names and descriptions in line with these changes from 23 November 2026. You can see details of these changes in the tables below.
We’ll be updating our fund factsheets to reflect these changes. These will be available on standardlife.co.uk/investments/funds once updated.
Fund details

| Current fund description | Updated fund description |

The SL abrdn High Yield Bond Pension Fund invests primarily in the abrdn High Yield Bond Fund. The aim of the abrdn High Yield Bond Fund is summarised below. The fund aims to provide a significantly higher level of income than that available on gilts by investing mainly in sterling and euro denominated sub-investment grade corporate bonds. The fund is actively managed by our investment team who may also invest in other bonds (such as investment grade corporate bonds and government bonds) to try to take advantage of the opportunities they have identified. The value of any investment can fall as well as rise and is not guaranteed – you may get back less than you pay in. |
The SL abrdn Global Enhanced Yield Bond Pension Fund invests primarily in the abrdn Global Enhanced Yield Bond Fund. The aim of the abrdn Global Enhanced Yield Bond Fund is summarised below. The Fund aims to generate income and some growth over the long term (5 years or more) by investing in sub-investment grade (high yield) bonds issued by corporations, governments or government-related bodies anywhere in the world (including in emerging markets). The value of any investment can fall as well as rise and is not guaranteed – you may get back less than was paid in. |
