child trust fund

[tamborine]

Son says PM Blair gave £250 for all babes as a trust fund & these are now worth £2k. When do they mature?

[ubasses]

I have no idea of the worth but I believe they mature when the child is 18, as long as the parents used the voucher to make the investment

I doubt very much they will be worth anything like £2000 at 18 unless the parents been adding to it

Now worth 2K?

I wish!

I was adding a tenner every month until I got the yearly statement and was getting back less than I put in. Funny, don't think I've had a statement for a long time now and my daughters 8

Wasnt that one of the things they stopped when the bottom dropped out of the Banking system?

Think so, don't remember my daughter getting this when my grandson was born 2 years ago.

my son will be 2 in 2 weeks - we got £50 in a Government Trust Fund for him. I think they may have stopped it now. I actually had a statement today which confirmed that the fund is now valued at £48 odd! lol x

I know, the way its going by the time they reach 18 it might buy a book or 2!
