Junior ISA
Junior ISA
Give your child a head start with a Junior Individual Savings Account (ISA) — a long-term, tax-free savings solution designed specifically for children under 18.
What is a Junior ISA?
A Junior ISA is a savings account that allows parents, guardians, and family members to invest on behalf of a child — completely tax-free. Any interest, dividends or investment growth earned within the account is free from Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax.
You can open a Junior ISA if your child:
Is under the age of 18
Is a UK resident
The money belongs to the child and is locked away until they turn 18, at which point the account converts into a standard adult ISA.
Why Choose a Junior ISA?
When you invest through our Managed Trading Account, you gain far more than market exposure — you gain complete financial control with expert support.

Build funds for your child’s school or university future.
First Steps to Home Ownership
