Aegon has launched six new investment funds that will aim to provide investors with equity exposure as well as a level of capital protection.
Among the new funds is the Protected European Equity Select Portfolio Fund, the Protected UK Equity Select Portfolio Fund and the Protected Global Emerging Equity Markets Fund.
With Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance, all the funds are invested between equities and cash and will have a minimum level of protection at 80 per cent of the highest ever unit price.
David Aaron, Marketing Communications Manager for Investment Products at AEGON, explained how the new products could be ideal for people concerned about relying too much on equities .
He added: "These funds may be suited to advisers who have clients looking for a degree of certainty with their investments .
"With the launch of the new protected funds, customers will have exposure to some of the upside of equity investment returns, while at the same time maintaining a reassuring and defined level of capital protection."
A number of investment experts have recently recommended the prospects of emerging markets such as Brazil and India for better returns than the UK.
