Aon’s Bigblue Touch Group Pension Plan has a Governance Advisory Arrangement (GAA) with Capital Cranfield Trustees Limited. The main role of the GAA is to assess the ongoing value for money for the members, and raise with Aon any concerns it may have about this. If the provider does not address the concerns to the satisfaction of the GAA, the GAA can escalate those concerns to the Financial Conduct Authority.

Here is a copy of the latest annual Chairman’s Report. Within this report, Aon disclose the illustrative example charges for Bigblue Touch’s funds. These are not personal illsutrations, they are based on the assumptions detailed within the appendix of the Chairman’s report. The purpose of the illustration is to show how fund related costs and charges can affect the overall value of the funds that the GAA have chosed to illustrate, over a period of time.
