It's all about us!


Our expertise

Because we've been in the business of helping families plan for the future for such a long time (over 125 years), we do have quite a lot of experience. We know about the things which most families want for their children, and about some of their ambitions and concerns for the future.

And, because we were involved from the beginning – even from the very first planning stages when it was just an idea – we know an awful lot about the Child Trust Fund.

As well as all the info, research, and case studies we offer, we're happy to answer any specific questions you may have about investing for children generally, or the Child Trust Fund in particular. David White, our Chief Executive, and Tony Anderson, our Marketing Manager, are regularly invited to take part in discussions for local and national TV and radio stations, and to supply interviews and quotes for press and web articles.


Our successes

We are very proud to have received quite a few industry awards over the years. Most recent examples include:

Best Child Trust Fund Provider

awarded by Moneyfacts Investment Life & Pensions in 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009

Best Children's Financial Product Provider

awarded by themoneypages.com in 2009

Best Shares-Based Child Trust Fund

awarded by Moneywise magazine 2008 and 2009

Our commitment to our customers

As you'd expect, it's very important to us to provide the best possible service to our customers and our partners. We carry out reviews of our products, services, and processes - and regularly evaluate our performance against industry standards.

Our commitment to excellent service was recognised in 2009 when we were awarded 'Best Child Trust Fund Provider' for the fourth consecutive year by Moneyfacts Investment Life & Pensions. In 2006 we received Kids Superbrand status in recognition of our expertise in the field of long-term savings for children by a panel of 18 independent judges at the Superbrand organisation.

We have joined the 'Customer Impact' initiative being co-ordinated by the Association of British Insurers. The aim is to help firms ensure that the needs of the customer are at the heart of the way in which they run their businesses.

The three key commitments are:

  1. To develop and promote products and services which meet the needs of customers.
  2. To provide customers with clear information and good service when they buy products.
  3. To maintain appropriate and effective relationships with customers, providing them with a good service after they have bought a product.
