Best Junior Isa Account now that Child Trust Funds can be transferred?

[hulahoopsilove]

My DS born 2005 can now I believe have his Child Trust Fund transferred to Junior ISA.

Any ideas which the BEST is?

Ooh - that's good news, I hadn't heard that. I think it's coming in on 6 April checking here

yes good news as I think my sons has increases a pitence in the last 10 years!

Im looking for the best ISA though cant seem to find a list of them all even on moneysavingexpert

Hopefully there will be articles and tables in the press when the date becomes a bit nearer?

About time I remember signing a petition/writing to someone (?MP) about this but it feels like years ago!

Yes I agree it was a pitance to start with...I just put ours in the Halifax trust fund and left it...6 April isnt that long away though

There are starting to be some articles in the newspapers about this - so far they seem to say that putting it into a stocks/shares Junior ISA will probably perform better than a cash one. Can't wait to move ours, did get a reasonable amount over the last 12 months in a Yorkshire BS one but will be nice to have a larger choice of places it can be invested.

My two older kids have Halifax junior ISA's, and my two youngest have nationwide CTF. If it is possible to transfer them then hopefully we will be able to open halifax ones for the younger 2.

Stocks and shares rather than cash would be a good start!

def stocks and shares.

there are artilcles on money pages op, best ish rates i have seen - 4% on normal accounts.

Surely you mean that the other way round babyroobs?

Does anyone know, if you didn't actually open a CTF account for your child , will you then be able to open an ISA for them?

Waiting, I was too disorganised to open CTFs for my kids (2003 and 2008), so after a while, the government opened them for me automatically. Are you sure that didn't happen to you?

Oh, maybe they did. I'll check my paperwork .
