Good Points: Easy to set up
Bad Points: Money put in might not get added to the account.
First reviewed on 23 Apr, 2009 by Marian
I was putting money in by direct debit which i thought would be increasing the amount in the account but after putting in £100 i received a statement and was shocked to see that the amount had only increased by £10 since the last statement.I feel like i've just thrown £90 away and have now cancelled my direct debit and want to change to a savings account so i know the money will definately be in my childs accont.

Good Points: See review
Bad Points: None that I can see!
First reviewed on 28 Jun, 2008 by Nimisha 
Clear concise website, you can manage your child's account online and their management charges are capped at 1.5% pa. They move your money to lower risk investments once your child is over 13, so that the investment is less risky as they get closer to 18. You, your family and friends can contribute up to £1,200 each tax year and you can also set up a direct debit with them so you know that the fund is growing but remember you may or may not get all of your money back as shares fluctuate. Other providers act as 'middle men' for Family Investments too I think, offering incentives if you join through them..

Good Points: they phoned me to set the account up and sent me some information to read through. may make more money
Bad Points: Stakeholder, so may not get the full £250
First reviewed on 17 Sep, 2007 by Emma
Shortly after the birth of my baby daughter, i received my child trust fund voucher and bounty sent me an information pack with details about it and about of setting it up with them, they phoned me to find out of i had set up an account yet and i gave details over the phone to open an account, they were also very helpful and answered my questions about the account i found this very easy as its hard to get the time to go into a bank and set it up so it was very conveinent for me. the only problem is the risk that it may not make as much money as it is stakeholder, but the money could also increase.

Good Points: Easy to set up and half price hotel deal for setting up monthly direct debit. Annual statement to see how it's growing.
Bad Points: Only increased in value by £5.68 in first six months!
First reviewed on 19 Oct, 2007 by S.Warwick
I've just finished setting up our second (and final - definitely no more!) stakeholder child trust fund. This time I discovered myeggnest and I've chosen The Children's Mutual as they were in the top ten stakeholder funds reviewed. Last time I chose Family Investments and they did not appear in the top ten listing. However, I chose them because they seemed to have associations with some reputable companies and I already had some savings with the HBOS group and wanted to have eggs in different baskets. That, along with the performance, is why I've gone with Children's Mutual this time. Also I applied on line this time - quick and easy. Just waiting for our annual statement from Family Investments shortly and hope it's doing better than last year when it only increased in value by £5.68 in six months! Could have earned more in a savings account! Family Investments gave us vouchers for half price hotel stays when we set up our monthly direct debit but I have to say that we haven't used them - hard to get away for weekends with baby in tow! This time I'm looking forward to £30 in Mothercare vouchers from Children's Mutual - at least they'll definitely get used! My advice to anyone new to CTF is to look at the top ten performers in myeggnest.com and choose one that seems a good deal for you and the kids. I wouldn't choose non-stakeholder but perhaps I'm over cautious - I'd like to think that the money I pay each month is going to benefit my kids in the long run.

Interesting Fact

Alternative to CTFs

Children's Stakeholder Pensions

You can now save towards your children's retirement with a Children's Stakeholder Pension in your children's name. This is a government backed scheme where you can invest up to £2,808 each year, net of tax, and the Inland Revenue will add 22% basic rate tax relief to this, bringing the total amount invested up to a maximum of £3,600 a year.

By starting a Children's Stakeholder Pension young, your children's pension pot will have a huge boost in comparison to those who waited until their working lives to begin paying towards a pension.

A contributions of £3,600 per annum between ages of 0 - 16 yrs (and then stopped) could leave your child with a potential pension fund value of £1,230,000 at age 60 (these projections are based on a medium growth rate of 7% with an Annual Management Charge of 1%, courtesy of Axa Sun Life).

Contact Steve Weisner - Senior Independent Financial Adviser - at Radcliffe Newlands on 0845 0217000 or Email Steve where he'll be happy to answer all your Children's Pension questions- Please mention MyEggNest
