Child Trust Fund

Hello,

I have a CTF voucher to invest, and I have decided on a stakeholder account. I am wondering how others went about choosing where to put it.

I have looked through the list of providers, but there is no more detail of how they invest it. So I am curious to know, did you approach some/all of the providers so that you could compare them? Or did you just choose a name that you were familiar with?

    I looked thru the article on mse and chose one from that list that there was a branch of in my town BUT I don't add to it nor will I in future so it didn't really matter to me.

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this: There’s an article on the main site you might like to read that gives more information on this subject. :)
