With effect from 20 June 2025, we’re updating the fund name and description of the SL Ninety One Asia Pacific Franchise Pension Fund (Fund code – CDJD).

Ninety One are making changes to their Asia Pacific Franchise Fund to give the fund a broader geographical and more sustainable focus, and invest in Emerging Markets. As a result of the change to invest in Emerging Markets, there will be an increase in the volatility rating of the fund from 6 to 7.

Standard Life is updating our fund name and description in line with these changes.

The previous and new fund details are shown in the table below.

We’ll be updating our fund factsheets to reflect the new fund names and descriptions. These will be available on standardlife.co.uk/funds once updated.
