Practical things to consider

Name the goal

Examples include school activities, a first car, training or higher education.

Match the time horizon

Short-term money generally needs easy access; longer-term investments involve risk and may fall in value.

Know the ownership rules

A Junior ISA belongs to the child and is generally inaccessible until age 18; check current eligibility and limits.

Questions families ask

Should I use a Junior ISA?

It depends on the goal, access requirements and your circumstances. Review current rules before deciding.
