The Children's Mutual

The Children's Mutual - home of the Child Trust Fund.

The Children's Mutual is the only company that specialises in providing savings for children and is the preferred choice of one in five parents for their child's Child Trust Fund.

The Government is giving the parents of each newborn child a voucher worth £250 to open an account - called a Child Trust Fund (CTF) account - on the child's behalf. You, your family and friends can all contribute regularly to this account and start saving for your child's future. The Government will contribute again to the fund when the child is seven and is considering a third contribution in the child's teenage years. The idea is that the account grows into a lump sum for the child to use when they are 18.

Baby Bond is The Children's Mutual's simple and straightforward stakeholder CTF account. Such accounts are the Government's preferred way of growing your child's savings. As the Best CTF Provider named by independent financial magazine Moneyfacts Life & Pensions three years running, you can rest assured that The Children's Mutual is the best way of saving for your child's future.
