Aegon has extended its tax year-end offering with an offshore bond partnership with Standard Life.

The partnership adds to Aegon’s existing offshore bond relationships, completing a trio of providers alongside Canada Life and Utmost.

Alongside the launch of its new Junior ISA, Aegon said the new products built on a year of platform developments.

It stated that the enhancements would help advisers keep client money invested, support intergenerational planning, and reduce unnecessary friction during the tax year-end period.

The firm believed that offshore bonds gave advisers access to a broader range of investment opportunities that may not be available through onshore solutions, while also benefiting from online trading and integration with existing investment strategies held on the ARC platform.

Aegon also announced it was aiming to make it easier for advisers to move client money more efficiently between accounts, with improvements to GIA and ISA transfers and the set-up of regular contributions for the next tax year.

“We start 2026 as we finished 2025, focused on delivering for advisers and supporting them through one of the busiest periods in the financial planning calendar,” commented Aegon chief distribution officer, Ronnie Taylor.

“Continued investment in our proposition, processes and digital journeys means advisers can complete key tasks more easily – from ISA top-ups and SIPP contributions to existing GIA to ISA transfers.

“As regulatory and economic conditions continue to evolve, advisers need practical solutions that help them make tax-efficient decisions for clients with confidence.

“By expanding our proposition with new options such as the Junior ISA and offshore bond, alongside ongoing simplification across the platform, we’re making it easier for advisers to meet client needs with less complexity.”
