A head start in life
A Child Trust Fund is a long-term savings account for children who were born between 1st September 2002 and 2nd January 2011. New accounts cannot be opened, however you can transfer a Child Trust Fund to a Forester Life Child Trust Fund, and you can continue to contribute to a Child Trust Fund that is held with Foresters Financial.
Start saving from as little as £10 up to £9,000 a year (running birthday to birthday), making the Child Trust Fund an ideal way to save for the future.
