What is a Junior ISA?
A Junior ISA is a government initiative launched in 2011 which provides a tax-efficient way to invest for your child's future. There's no income tax of capital gains tax to pay on the final amount. The Junior ISA lets you invest over the long term for the things your child might need in their adult life: whether that's going to uni, travel, driving lessons or a home deposit.
