Pension fund performance comparison sites

Are there such things as pension fund performance comparison websites? Any you'd recommend?

The performance info from my provider (Aegon) isn't terribly transparent and certainly not easy to compare the hundreds of different funds they provide to see if it's worth switching.

Thanks for your help

    You need to be careful though, it is easy to think that you should just pick whatever fund happened to perform best last year, however next year it could easily be one of the worst performers.

    There are but you must remember that comparing fund performance should only be done when comparing like for like on both asset class and risk profile.  
    e.g. if you compare a low risk gilt fund with a high risk UK smaller companies fund then you are not comparing like for like.
