Child Trust Fund

A Child Trust Fund (CTF) is a savings and investment account for children set up by the government.

Basically, all children born on or after 1st September 2002 receive a £250 Child Trust Fund voucher to start their account.
When they reach the age of seven, they receive a further £250 payment.

The Child Trust Fund belongs to the child and can't be touched until they turn 18, so that children have some money behind them to start their adult life. The great thing about the CTF scheme is that, like an ISA, there is no tax to pay and on income and gains in the account. You can't dip into in to buy that new TV or DVD player. As if you would!

The aims of the CTF:

• Ensure your child has savings at the age of 18
• Help your child get into the habit of saving
• Teach your child about the benefits of saving
• Help your child understand personal finance.

The Child Trust Fund is a great idea, wonder what £500 it will buy in 18 years time? Perhaps it will just buy enough to fill a tank with petrol!

The good thing about it is that you can also pay into the fund on your child's behalf. You can add £1200 to the fund each year. However, being a parent is expensive enough and most parents don't have much spare cash. How about putting some Child allowance money away?

There are only a handful of CTF registered banks. We have leaflets from the Post Office Insurance Services 'Child Trust Fun' which we can send with your purchase.
