What does the Children's Fund invest in?

The Children's Fund aims to provide above average capital growth over the long term, generally 10 years through a portfolio of investments in well-known UK companies. Normally shares in well known UK companies are purchased on behalf of very young children, which means that this increases the likelihood of them inheriting a worthwhile sum when they reach their 18th birthday.

How does the Children's Fund Work?

Up to the age of 18 the fund will be registered in an adult's name, but the account will be designated with the child's details. Once they reach their 18th birthday it can then be registered in the child's own name.

The Invesco Perpetual Children's Fun is a sub fund of an Investment Company with Variable Capital (ICVC). This is a collective investment scheme where your money is pooled together with that of other investors to form a single pot of money.

The assets are divided into shares - the more money you invest, the more shares you own.

Can I decide which way to invest ?

Yes. There are several different ways to invest on a child's behalf. You just choose the one that is suitable for you.

Which ever method you choose you can top up your investment, at any time, with amounts of £25 or more.
