Invest for your child’s future and support the UK’s largest charity for parents

A great partnership – Family Investments and NCT

Choose the UK’s favourite CTF provider and support the NCT

How does a Child Trust Fund work?

After you register for Child Benefit, the Government will send you a £250 voucher to open a Child Trust Fund (CTF) account for your baby. This is the Government’s way of helping you save towards your child’s future. A great feature of the CTF is that parents and others can make additional payments into the account, up to a combined total of £1200 each year.  This makes it an excellent way to save for your child, so when they reach 18 they will receive a cash lump sum to start their adult life with. Only your child can access the money in the CTF, and only when they reach 18.  

Choosing a CTF account is one of the most important decisions you can make for your child, and we want to help you make the right choice. We feel you can be confident you’re doing the right thing by placing your child’s money in the expert hands of Family Investments.

Choose the UK’s favourite CTF provider and support the NCT

Family Investments are the UK's favourite provider looking after over 1 million CTF accounts and offer the only stakeholder account you can manage online.  They have over 30 years experience in helping families invest for their future. 

What’s more, the NCT will receive a minimum of £35 for every CTF taken out. And if you quote your local NCT branch code when you apply, they will benefit too. 

There are a variety of CTF accounts and providers to choose from. The Family Investments CTF is a stakeholder account. Over 75% of CTF accounts opened are stakeholder accounts and it is the Government’s preferred option for most children. However, this type of account may not be suitable for everyone. The Family Investments CTF invests mainly in shares, where it has good potential to grow, but could also mean your child may get back less than was paid in. 

Get NCT Shop Vouchers worth £15

One easy way to increase the potential cash sum your child will receive is to top up their CTF with a regular Direct Debit. Set one up for £10 or more when you apply and we’ll send you a voucher worth £15 to spend online at NCT Shop.

Other forms of payment are accepted, but the gift offer will not be applicable.
