Child Trust Fund

The Child Trust Fund (CTF) was the forerunner to the Junior ISA. Children born in the UK between 1st September 2002 up to and including the 2nd January 2011 were eligible for the Child Trust Fund. Although no longer available to new-born children, existing Child Trust Funds remain open to new investment and have recently had their limits increased to £3,600 each tax year. You can transfer an existing Child Trust Fund account to Jump with the minimum transfer value of £1,000.

• The Jump CTF is an equity product that invests into Witan Investment Trust; a well-known and leading global investment trust.
• The CTF is a tax efficient savings vehicle for adults to save on behalf of a child.*
• Any family member or friend can contribute towards the account.
• The maximum annual allowance for the CTF has been increased to £3,600 and from 2013 will rise annually with inflation.
• The money is locked away until the child reaches 18.
• You can only transfer an existing CTF account to Jump providing your existing CTF account has a minimum value of £1,000.
