The clean share class funds will be available through Sipps, offshore bonds, general investment accounts and Isas.
Mr Bucher said: “The Aegon platform is targeted at two key markets: at retirement and workplace savings. Having proven popular with advisers we believe our core proposition of risk-profiled funds is well suited to these growing markets.”

Adviser view
Kevin Morgan, managing director of Hertfordshire-based Consilium Financial Planning, said: “I have used the Architas range in the past. It has reasonable multi-asset funds and at reasonable prices, so more power to Axa Wealth for increasing the range’s exposure to another platform and improving choice for advisers.”
