Feedback. After receiving many positive and constructive feedback from our members about our table, we’ve decided to revamp our table and create a new format to the Stakeholder Child Trust Fund.  Because the Child Trust Fund is a LONG TERM children savings product, we decided to compare the funds over a 3 and 5 Year period to allow parents to see the overall effect of the Funds.  We hope you find this table useful.  If you have any further suggestions, please feel free to Contact Us.
