The company further confirmed to convert rebate-paying funds into their clean equivalent in the second and third quarter of this year in the event of non-selection of clean funds by the adviser for their clients.
However, advisers will be urged to assign an alternative fund in the events where a clean version of the same fund is not available.
As per the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) norms, all new businesses are to be placed in cash-rebate free share classes starting April 2014.
Aegon UK investment director Nick Dixon said that the majority of advisers have already adopted a full suite of clean share classes for their clients.
"Where advisers have clients in rebate-paying share classes, we will work closely with them to help manage the transition," Dixon added.
