Welcome to Chartwell's Child Trust Fund Website

The Chancellor announced the introduction of Child Trust Funds (CTFs) in the April 2003 Budget. CTFs are part of the Government's strategy for saving and asset ownership.

The CTF is a savings and investment account for children. The Government will make payments to children through this account to help build up a useful stock of assets for when they reach the age of 18. CTF accounts are intended to help strengthen the savings habit of future generations, spread the benefits of assets ownership to all, educate people in the need for savings and give young people a basic understanding of financial products.

CTF accounts have been available from April 2005 for eligible children born on or after 1st September 2002. On this site you can find more information about the different types of CTF accounts available and can arrange to invest your voucher. You can also examine options for children who aren't eligible for CTF and other forms of family financial planning.
