So my question is, what fund/tracker would you recommend? It's not much money (more King Seiko than Grand...) and he's very very little so risk appetite is high.
Reading this thread from years gone by, I appreciate the suggestion of keep it in your name rather than theirs for any savings we put aside for him (as opposed to gifts like this).
While looking at S&S JISA's, not sure if it's a recent thing or not but noticed Hargreaves Lansdown don't charge any fees for kids accounts which seems great.
