Junior Cash ISA or Junior Stocks & Shares ISA for my kids?

Children born today face tough financial challenges when they reach adulthood, so in his latest tutorial Marcus de Silva runs you though two ways of building a little nest egg for them: the Junior Cash ISA and the Junior Stock & Shares ISA

We have a sponsor for this one too: Columbia Threadneedle Investments, and in particular their investment trust division; they trace their investment roots back to 1868, when F&C Investment Trust, the world’s oldest collective investment scheme, was launched.

Currently they manage 10 investment trusts, providing a range of investment opportunities including access to equities (shares), bonds, property and private equity (unlisted company shares).

Each trust has different aims and objectives with the option of capital growth, income or a combination of both, and with a specific regional focus or with a global remit. Check them out here: www.ctinvest.co.uk/isa2024
