The Government is giving every child born after 1 September 2002 a voucher for at least £250 to open a child trust fund and start their savings.
At Chelsea, we believe that this could be the ideal start for a long-term savings plan for your child's future, whether it be for their education, starting a home, or even buying their first car.
Therefore, we can offer you a Child Trust Fund Non-Stakeholder Baby Bond Choice account from the Children's Mutual. The Children's Mutual is the only organisation in the UK that exclusively deals in children's savings and has won the award for Best Child Trust Fund Provider from industry publication Moneyfacts in 2006, 2007 & 2008.
The Baby Bond Choice account is a non-stakeholder account offering investments from four different fund managers, namely Gartmore, Insight, Invesco Perpetual and UBS. Remember, the value of shares can go up or down, and you can get back less than you paid in. If you are interested in investing your child's voucher and any future payments in this option then please order a brochure and application form.
