Crazymum- is it actually a children's account?

Sounds like the GP one has been opened in trust or something - don't know much more than that I'm afraid....

I don't know what sort of account it is. I have asked the bank but they say that "in the interest of customer confidentiality" they can't tell me (or my daughter either)!

We have CTF set up and pay £100 pcm - CTFs are ending soon. Best to go into the new ISAs or set up a pension (or both)? When will we know about the childs ISAa? Can we keep the CTF or will the money be moved to another wrapper?

Why do you charge (along with the other banks) so much for your CTF? The 1.5% is not the total charge as you don't show the TER (total Expense Ration) or the turnover rate of the investments (where you profit each time as well). As a guide you are charge twice the amount a reputable stockbroker would charge for a managed portfolio. Can you tell us your total profit and margin on these products?
