Child trust fund - which one to go for???

[runtus]

Just had a baby boy and now looking to invest the vouchers the government has so kindly decided to throw my way...............thing is there are so many different funds thsat I din;t know which to go for.

Any advice or guidance greatly appreciated!

Look on moneysaving expert site. I've finally decided to go for the Ipswich - offers one of the best continuous rates of interest. My daughter is 12 months!

You have to decide first whether to invest in cash (safer) or equities (more potential upside, but also downside, of course).

My personal preference is to go for equities, because you are looking at a long time frame of 18 years which in itself smoothens out the risk.

Runtus, any thoughts on which you prefer?

The only ethical trust fund is the one with the children's mutual, that's the one I chose.
