"Give your child a great start in life with a Junior ISA"
James Caldwell, Director
Junior ISAs are an initiative by the Government to help parents save for their children's future. Launched in November 2011, junior ISAs offer tax-free savings and investments. Each eligible child is allowed to have one cash ISA and one stocks and share ISA at any time, and contributions can be made up to £3,600 per tax year. Transfers are permitted between cash and stocks and shares, or to another provider.

The junior ISA replaces Child Trust Funds. Junior ISAs are not available to any child who already holds a Child Trust Fund. Unlike CTFs, there will be no government contribution towards the savings pot, but any person or organisation will be allowed to contribute. Junior ISAs can be opened by anyone with parental responsibility for an eligible child, then management will pass to the child when they turn 16. Tthey will not be able to access the funds until they turn 18, when the account will automatically default to become an adult ISA.
