Outcome

I do not uphold Mr N’s complaint and no further action is required by the Trustee or Aviva.

Complaint summary

Mr N has complained that:-

· Aviva failed to complete the transfer of his Standard Life Additional Voluntary Contribution (AVC) fund into the Trust within a reasonable timeframe.

· This delay caused him to cancel the transfer and incur a financial loss by taking the AVC benefits as a lump sum instead.

· The Trustee offered him an award in recognition of his financial loss, then withdrew the offer.
