Oh for some real cash at 18 - to buy a car, put a deposit on a flat, take that world trip - dreams every parent wants to see their children realise. But with interest rates at their lowest for 30 years - over the past 15 years, the average building society has yielded £8,530* on monthly savings of £25 - it has become increasingly difficult to get a good return on savings, or to see how many such dreams will ever reach fruition. However, help is now at hand.From just £25 per month, Jump is a highly flexible and cost-effective new savings plan for parents and grandparents wanting to invest for their children and grandchildren's future. £25 invested in Jump over the past 15 years would have produced almost double the average building society return - at £15,370*.
Based on Witan, one of the UK's largest investment trusts, Jump invests in leading UK companies and gives access to the world's other major stockmarkets. Founded in 1909, Witan manages some £1.8 billion¹ on behalf of over 40,000 investors and is listed in the top 150 companies on the London Stock Exchange.
With a long-term track record of consistently good performance, +102% over 5 years and +256% over 10 years¹, Jump is an ideal savings fund for children.
Commenting, Christopher Clarke from Jump said:
"Our aim is long-term investment performance combined with minimal risk, providing capital growth and income. Jump invests in household names such as Barclays, Asda, Boots, Tesco, Granada, Railtrack and Thames Water and adds value by supporting strong growth sectors such as telecommunications and pharmaceuticals."
"The Jump brand has been developed specifically with saving for children in mind. The period of childhood lends itself perfectly to the benefits provided by long-term investment in Witan Investment Trust."

Please remember that past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. The value of an investment and the income from it can fall as well as rise as a result of market and currency fluctuations and you may not get back the amount originally invested. Banks and building society accounts offer greater security to your capital.
