Junior Investment Account

Help your children share in the wealth of the stock market

A Junior Investment Account from The Share Centre makes it easy for you to give your children the best possible financial start in life. It ensures stock market investments are made with the minimum of fuss and provides you with a secure home for trading – so you can see at a glance exactly how your investments are performing.

Unlike a Child Trust Fund, there are no restrictions on how much you invest or when and where you choose to invest.

Two options – Designated Account and Bare Trust Agreement

A Junior Investment Account can be setup as either a Designated Account, or Bare Trust Agreement. Please decide which option is the best for you based on your tax considerations and legal considerations.

Designated Account – account in your name

This allows you to retain control of the Junior Investment Account, and you decide when it should be passed to the child.

Bare Trust Agreement – account held in Trust

The account is held in Trust for the benefit of the child. When the child reaches 18, the control for the account passes to the child.

A Junior Investment Account – expert advice at no extra charge

We're different. Unlike other retail stockbrokers, we don't charge extra for the expert advice we give our customers. There's no call centre, just people who really know what they're talking about.

A Junior Investment Account gives peace of mind

Open a Junior Share Account and we also help you take care of your paperwork – so you don't have to worry about administration. We'll keep you informed with:

Corporate actions such as takeovers and mergers
Contract notes for every deal
Statements twice a year

Investment carries a variety of risks

We understand that investing isn't right for everyone. It's well known that investments, their value and the income they provide can go down as well as up and you might not get back what you originally invested. If you're not sure about the suitability of an investment please contact our Advice team.
