Alternative to CTFs
Rather than use your savings account to build your children's nestegg, think about investing in the numerous savings products available through banks, building societies and the government. All offer better interest rates and tax advantages that your savings account won't be able to match. Below are just a few examples of how you can save for your children.

Unit Trusts for Children
Whatever your children or grandchildren dream of doing when they grow up, why not indulge more than their imagination?
Whether they want to travel the world or step onto the first rung of the property ladder, fund their way through university or organise the wedding of their dreams, you can give them a great start in life by investing for their future with a Legal & General unit trust.
And whether you have a little to invest or a lot, if you start now you could begin to grow a fund that will help you give your child a great financial start in life.

Tax Exempt Saving Plans (TESPs)
One of the best ways to save for your children's future is the Tax-Exempt Savings Plans (TESPs) from friendly societies. TESPs offer parents a simple way to save up to £25 for each family member per month in addition to, or instead of, a CTF.
TESPs can help you build up a lump sum for any child through small regular payments. You choose when the money is available for them, but the policy must run until they’re at least 16 and run for a minimum of 10 years.
TESPs are available for every member of the household so a family of four could save up to £100 a month tax-free and, provided the TESPs have been set up in the parent's names, the money remains firmly under their control. In addition, the flexibility of TESPs mean that they can be set up to mature at different points in a child's life.

Children's Stakeholder Pensions
You can now save towards your children's retirement with a Children's Stakeholder Pension in your children's name. This is a government backed scheme where you can invest up to £2,808 each year, net of tax, and the Inland Revenue will add 22% basic rate tax relief to this, bringing the total amount invested up to a maximum of £3,600 a year.
By starting a Children's Stakeholder Pension young, your children's pension pot will have a huge boost in comparison to those who waited until their working lives to begin paying towards a pension.
A contributions of £3,600 per annum between ages of 0 - 16 yrs (and then stopped) could leave your child with a potential pension fund value of £1,230,000 at age 60 (these projections are based on a medium growth rate of 7% with an Annual Management Charge of 1%, courtesy of Axa Sun Life).
