Save, save, save (your sanity)

“Your money or your life!” Well, both actually. Oh, the demands children make on you. And it’s all so darn unpredictable. Disneyland, one minute…14 carat toe rings, the next...then, before you know it, they’re all grown up with no place to go. Can you imagine the price of a starter home in 2020?

What we’re saying is, saving a little now can save you a major headache later on. But why should you choose Jump over other run-of-the-mill savings accounts for children?

Well, Jump is different from the building society and bank kind. As you’ll find out later in this brochure, the returns from Jump are based on the performance of hundreds of different shares in hundreds of different companies quoted on stock markets all over the world. And over the long term, investments like these tend to perform better than bank and building society accounts.  But we must point out that past performance is no guarantee of future performance. 

Which is ideal for an investment that you would like to mature just when the child you’re investing for does (although the two may not necessarily correlate…). With Jump behind you, you could well find that request for a car, a house deposit or, indeed, a brand new identity is a breeze to deal with. Or if not a breeze, then something less than a hurricane.

Give your offspring a Jump start

Of course, you are not making a complete leap in the dark when you invest your money with Jump.

Jump children's savings and child trust funds are based on Witan Investment Trust which is a well-known, leading global investment fund.

Because it invests in blue-chip stocks and shares spread across the world’s stockmarkets, it is a suitable investment to hold for 10-15 years; from tinies to teens. Or, as some may see it, from goo goo to grunt grunt.

Let us mother you

At Witan, it’s in our nature to nurture.

So, rather than excitedly chasing short-term targets, we have consistently built up one of the UK’s biggest and most widely diversified investment funds.

To do this, we use a ‘best of breed’ investment philosophy – delegating our fund’s management to some of the most proficient fund managers in the world. Like all good mums, we only want the best for you and yours.

A little bundle of joy – £25 is all it takes to start.

Mmm, so you can see the infinite wisdom of saving for a gene pool journey into the unknown, but you have a little stumbling block.

Children are a money pit. Buggies, bikes, nappies and Nikes, they are costing you a small fortune right now. Can you really afford to put some aside?

Far be it from us to add to the stresses of parenting, godparenting or grandparenting, so we have made investing in Jump as easy as a walk in the park.

You can start investing for a quarter of the price of a glitzy pair of trainers – £25 is all it takes to start, per month or quarter, or you can choose to begin saving with a £100 lump sum.

We also give you the freedom to stop and start your payments and to release your savings at any time. Without pursing our lips or producing a pedantic penalty.
