CT Junior Investment Account
Give your child a head start with our CT JIA, with no annual investment limits.
As children grow so can their savings
Tap into the global stock market using a CT Junior Investment Account (CT JIA), and build a head start for the child in your life’s future.
Our CT Junior Investment Account (CT JIA) provides an affordable way for parents and grandparents to build a savings pot for their little ones without any investment limits. A great option if you’ve already maxed out a Junior ISA or CTF. Unlike our other two children’s plans you decide when to gift the money to them.

Each Trust has different aims and strategies. You can select a Trust that aims for capital growth, income or both. Some have a specific regional focus, while others take a global approach.
