We’ve partnered with Wealthify to support your child’s financial future
Wealthify’s Junior Stocks & Shares ISA (JISA) is a simple way to plan for your child’s financial future even if you have no investment experience. University fees, their first car or starting on the property ladder. Whatever you want to help your children with in the future, Wealthify’s JISA is a great place to start.
Affordable investing
Start with a lump sum or whatever you can afford, starting from £1
You're in control
Investment styles range from Cautious to Adventurous – and you can choose an Ethical plan if that matches your values
Simple transfer
Move an existing Child Trust Fund or JISA into a Wealthify JISA
Remember, investments rise and fall in value. You could get back less than you put in.
What is a Junior ISA?
Do you want to give your child a head start in life when they turn 18? Then the Junior Individual Savings Account – or JISA – could be what you’re looking for.
You’ll pay no income or capital gains tax on any returns you earn. It’s a highly tax-efficient way to put money away for your loved ones.
You can open an account today so long as you’re the parent or legal guardian. And your child gets access to the money as soon as they turn 18.
How could your child's money grow?
It’s simple. Your JISA money goes into funds that track the performance of companies around the world. When they do well, your money goes up, like any other investment.
Of course, all investments rise and fall in value. While they trend towards a profit in the long-term, you could lose money in the short term and get back less than you put in.
That’s why we encourage you to hold your JISA for a minimum of five years. This gives your child the best chance to collect tax-efficient profits when they turn 18.
Make sure you take advantage of your £9,000 JISA allowance for the 2021/22 tax year while you can. The sooner you pay in, the sooner you could see a return on your money.
Why invest with a Wealthify Junior ISA?
If you want to invest for your child's future, but aren’t sure where to start, our Wealthify Junior ISA could be the answer.

- Affordable investing
Top up as much or as little as you like, when you like. You can invest lump sums or regular monthly amounts up to the annual Junior ISA allowance limit of £9,000 for the 2021/22 tax year. - Managed for you
Your money is looked after by Wealthify’s investment managers who monitor your plan and decide where to invest your money. So you don’t need to be an expert to get started.
What will you pay?
You work hard for your money and don't want to spend a fortune on costs. So with Wealthify, you only pay one simple fee.
While your total investment values will fluctuate month to month, here's an example of what your first month's charge could be if you invested £750.
The first month’s charge would be only £0.48:
Wealthify fee 0.6% | £0.38 |
Original plan average investment costs 0.16% | £0.10 |
Just £0.48 - less than the price of a chocolate bar.
By the way, average investment costs for Ethical plans are 0.56%. You can log into your account any time to check up on your exact charge.
