    CTF's are long terms investments!

    The money cannot be accessed until your child is 18 years old and so you should not worry about fluctuations in the market at this stage.

    In fact, the market being volatile is actually a good thing for long term investors - particularly those investing monthly. Yo ...

    Our Grand-daughter's trust fund is with Children's Mutual and has risen in value by over 30% in a few months since opening. We've got a direct debit which was easy to set-up and we can also pay in using our bank card online.

    Likes: easy to pay into
    Dislikes: can't check fund value online (but call ...

    I pay the maximum amount evey year into a Childrens Mutual Child Trust Fund for both my children ( £1200 each) and Ive just received the annual statement for my eldest son. Having paid in the full £1200 the fund value has grown by £100, so thats a loss of £1100 in a year. ...

    Childrens Mutual Trust Fund is as good as any other CTF Plan. I particularly liked the ease of applying. However my eldest daughters fund has been poor of late but given the economic market at the moment it is hardly surprising. I still think that the CTF from Childrens Mutual is as good as any in t ...

    I have paid £120 into my grandchild's account over the past 12 months. CTF advise that the value of the fund has increased by £7.75 only on a total investment of £521.43. Even allowing for the poor performance of the stock market this is bad. No more investments into this fund ...

    I like the top-up facility, very easy to use
    Site is very visible on the internet easy to find via google and 30pound incentive for opening online with a direct debit. The best choice for anyone looking to apply for a ctf online, the extra incentive for opening an account online with a direct debit ...

    I have both of my children in the Childrens Mutual Child Trust Fund, they have both lost money this year, £55 each. I find this hard to believe as my pension has climbed by 11%, and my own shares and investments have increased by 8.2%. This fund is not a good investment.
