Investing for Children
Our Children’s Savings Plan can be a flexible and affordable way to invest for a child’s future, you choose which investment trust or trusts to invest in and how much to invest. Please remember that, as with all stock market investments, the value of your investment can go down as well as up and you may not get back the amount originally invested.
