Fidelity for Children's S&Ss

Hi All,

I am going to setup an S&S ISA for my two kids, from my research a global fund with Fidelity looks like my best option? Anyone in a similar position who would recommend this approach or are there better options available?

    That would be a regularly mentioned option.
    A JISA with Fidelity has no platform fees and their own global index fund - Fidelity World P has low charges

    This is what I have for my son (and most of his money is in the Fidelity World Index Fund as super cheap).

    Easy to access and manage on the app, although I’ve just got a regular monthly DD set up so don’t actually need to do anything else. Lack of fees is definitely a major plus point. 

    Used to have his JISA with Wealthify, but it just didn’t really work for me and I felt the performance was poor (when compared with a benchmark, not just it simply losing money). The fees were also a lot higher.
