Junior ISAs

Junior Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) are set to be launched by autumn 2011, as a tax-free children's savings scheme to replace the Child Trust Fund.

Junior ISAs will be offered by private providers, with the choice of investing into a cash-based account or a stocks and shares-based account. The funds will be locked away until adulthood. Like with traditional ISAs, any returns from the new Junior ISAs will be tax-free.

Keep checking back for updated information, as details of the scheme continue to be finalised by the Government.

A quick overview of the soon-to-be-launched children's savings scheme.

Overview of Junior ISAs
Replacing CTFs, the Junior ISA will bear many similarities, with the crucial difference being a lack of government contribution. What else do we already know about the Junior ISA?

Article: Are Juniors ISAs the Answer to Student Debt?
In the United States, where higher education can cost up to $75,000 a year, parents start saving as early as possible with many aiming to cover at least half of the expenses. With tuition fees set to rise to up to £9,000 a year in the UK, can Junior ISAs help you do the same?

Junior ISA provider reviews

Traditional ISAs are growing in popularity as a tax-efficient and straightforward way of making returns on your savings. Looking at ISAs in more detail gives us clues about what the future Junior ISA might be like.
