Finding the best saving for my grandsons money
1 Answers
I have a saving in trust for my grandson that has just matured. (£2,700 to invest). We paid in monthly starting when he was born, it earned 8% the first year.
Is there any website that spells out clearly the charges of any unit trusts we could hold as trustees - the blurbs I have seen are very vague about management and dealing charges, the adviser I spoke to wouldn't give me details on the phone and hasn't sent the literature she promised.
All the cash savings accounts I have found with decent rates, seem to say you can't hold them in trust. Has anyone found a good one?
What do you think about index linked National Savings?

What they then use the money for may not be what you intended it to be used for.
I don't think there is any limit on the amount you can invest in an investment trust.
