Lifestyle Strategies from Aviva Together with our full range of investment funds, we also offer a choice of Lifestyle strategies for our pension customers. Lifestyling is a very simple concept designed to give you the peace of mind in knowing that as you approach retirement, your pension fund is managed in a way that gradually reduces your exposure to riskier assets, such as equities toward lower risk assets such as bonds or cash. Lifestyling strategies use an automatic system that, over time, switches your pension fund from higher risk funds to lower risk funds as you approach retirement. This in effect means that the pension fund you have built up is gradually de-risked over a set period of time prior to your retirement age. We have two different lifestyle strategies - an Annuity strategy and an ARF strategy which are supported by three different fund managers Aviva Investors, Merrion Investment Managers and Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM). The first step is for you to choose which lifestyle strategy you want to aim for and then you choose which investment manager you prefer. Lifestyle strategies are currently available through the following products; Personal Pension; Executive Pension; Personal Retirement Bond and Corporate Plan. Technical terms used in the brochure are either explained in the brochure or in the glossary at the back. Warning: Warning: Warning: Warning: The value of your investment may go down as well as up. If you invest in these funds you may lose some or all of the money you invest. If you invest in these funds you will not have any access to your money before you retire. These funds may be affected by changes in currency exchange rates. Retirement Investments Insurance

Glossary Alternatives An investment that is not one of the three traditional asset types (equities, bonds and cash). Commercial property is an example of an alternative asset class. Annuity An annuity provides a regular income for the rest of your life, no matter how long you live. You can buy an annuity with the money from your pension fund. The annuity payments are taxable as income. ARF An Approved Retirement (ARF) is a personal retirement fund where you can keep your money invested after retirement, as a lump sum. You can withdraw from it regularly to give yourself an income. The ARF payments are taxable as income. Any money left in the fund after your death can be left to your next of kin. Assets/asset classes A category of similar types of financial instruments or investments, such as equities, bonds, cash or property. Bonds A type of IOU issued by governments, public companies or other institutions. The issuer agrees to repay the borrowed amount on an agreed date. Bonds usually pay a fixed interest rate over that time, so the bond holder earns an income from the bond. Diversification A strategy of spreading investment risk across a wide variety of assets in order to reduce the effect of a fall in the value of one asset on the wider portfolio. Equities (shares) A financial instrument that gives the holder part ownership in a company. Futures An agreement to buy an equity, bond, commodity or other financial asset at a future date for a specified price. In a fund, customers money is pooled with that of other investors. In turn, the fund could invest in anything from company shares to government bonds, property or a mixture of different assets or strategies. A fund manager oversees the fund and makes the decisions about which assets it should hold, in what quantities and when they should be bought and sold.
