Understanding your CTF and making an informed decision about your account are important next steps.
We have compiled everything you need to know about CTFs on this page.
If you are about to turn 18 or already have done so and have a CTF with Columbia Threadneedle, you can find more information about what to do next once you click the ‘Turning 18’ link below.
What is a Child Trust Fund?
Children born between 1 September 2001 and 2 January 2011 were given a voucher by the Government to start you off with a savings account. This has been looked after by your parents or guardians until now.
Fast forward 18 years and this account is yours to decide where you’re going next on your investment journey. On our CTF hub, you’ll find details of what happens to your account on your 18th birthday, the options available to you, and how to let us know your decision.
