Steadily reducing number of units in stakeholder pension?

I have a stakeholder pension with Norwich Union, and have noticed from my yearly statements that each year the number of units that I hold has reduced. I am baffled as to why this might be - can anyone shed any light?

Is the difference the annual charges? I just expected the charges to come out of the fund value, not the number of units.
Life is not a dress rehearsal.

    Some companies factor the annual management charge into the unit price. Others take it from the units. Swings and roundabouts at the end of the day.
