Nail down the right kind of account

The Child Trust Fund (CTF) is a long-term savings and investment account designed to give your child a financial head start in life.

There are three types of CTF accounts. The one you choose depends on how you feel about taking a risk in order to give the money a better chance to grow.

We've created a simple decision-making toolkit to help you decide. Remember, the sooner you use the voucher, the sooner your child’s money can start to grow.
