CHILD TRUST FUND VOUCHER

[Lulu41]

Can anyone recommend a fund to place this in. I was thinking of equities as opposed to a savings plan - did read about one in the press recently but of course forgot to write it down.

Any ideas Mumsnetters?

Thanks

we decided to go with the P.O either that or try a high street bank. I say this because at the end of the day they are long standing establishments and are monitered closely etc. but that is just my opinion knowing not much about banks, except that I spend all my money regulary.
Hope you find a suitable one.

i went with only ethical option with Co-op

britannia is the one i am going with when i get round to it...best interest rate for first two years apparently

but that is savings

im gonna go for Asda one but its the saving one

F&C was recommended by Money Saving Expert when we did ours.

We went with F&C

HSBC stakeholder account

which account with F&C there are about 6 i think, we got as far as F&C now stuck on which one.

Any help wld be much appreciated

The F&C one where you only have to add an extra tenner
can't recall which one it is
sorry

Where in the internet can you get info about the F&C? (sorry, don't even know what the letters stand for...)

www.fandc.com/

too tired to do links sorry

I can't remember what Money Saving Expert was saying, but ours is in the Graphite Enterprise Trust, which is quite a risky one, but I thought I'd give it a flutter!! (it's already increased by 7% in just a few months... although it could go down I guess!)

Sorry, that's Graphite Enterprise with F & C (Foreign and Colonial). They're an investment company that's been around for donkeys (apparently!)

(oops must read before posting!)

...and ours you don't have to do anything with, you can add to it if you want, but don't have to. There's no annual charge either.

That all sounds good - want to add money and dont mind if its a bit on the risky side - thanks

The childrens mutual do 'shareholder' accounts for the CTV, there is a safer option (where they choose the funds) and a slightly risker option where you chose the investments.
I work in investments and the funds you can choose from are good, well know funds.
Give tham a look if you want 'shares' rather than cash invesment
