can you help me understand trustnet.com data on my Aegon pension fund?

hi

i have a pension plan (GroupSIPP) with Aegon, and have decided to go for the following fund
Scot Eq Adventurous Select Portfolio

I found it on trustnet.com, but i'm confused

http://www.trustnet.com/Factsheets/Factsheet.aspx?fundCode=GSFM3&univ=P

why are there two different unit names?
-SCOT EQ ADVENTUROUS SELECT PORTFOLIO PN (ARC)
- SCOT EQ ADVENTUROUS SELECT PORTFOLIO PN

what does ARC stand for? and PN stands for pension?

the ARC one doesn't have a different price for bid and ask, but the PN one does.

also, in my Aegon pension i can see the price of the fund (under "plan value") and the price shows as 101.930 per (that's today's price after market close, i believe)

but that price is nowhere seen on the trustnet.com page...

the ARC shows 106.01 (exactly the same for bid and offer), and the PN shows bid 108.88 and ask 114.61.

probably all very stupid questions, but i struggle to understand this data. or is the trustnet data wrong? i didn't find this fund anywhere else...

cheers

The difference is the charges. The ARC one has an Annual Charge of 0.75% whereas the non ARC one is 1.75%.

When you look at the Aegon pension does it show the valuation date? Trustnet says the date of value is 13th July (so today), Aegons could be a day or 2 out.

great, thanks

and what does ARC stand for, as i can't work out this acronym?
and PN?

the charge of 0.75% in my plan will actually be discounted to 0.25%, because that's how my employer negotiated with Aegon (it's paid into the fund via monthly refunds). so that's definitely the one i have then.

hm, it doesn't mention 'valuation date' on Aegon, no. the only online facility to check is the 'fund value' page where i can change the date manually.

how can i change the date (show historic prices) on trustnet? i find that site so confusing.
