Three different ways to open a Junior Investment Acccount.

Transferring accounts

Having all your investments in one place makes them much easier to manage.

Transferring investments from other dealing accounts (and Share Certificates) to us is simple and hassle free.

Please complete and sign the relevant transfer forms and we'll take care of all the paperwork with your existing broker and let you know as soon as your account has been transferred.

Please bear in mind that your existing provider may also charge you for making a transfer.

It can take up to four to six weeks to process your transfer

Don't forget that the value and income from investments can go down as well as up and you will not be able to deal in your investments during the transfer. Therefore there is the potential that you may have a loss of income / growth whilst the transaction is being completed.
