Child Trust Fund

Our Shepherds Stakeholder CTF Plan lets you invest your child’s £250 Government Child Trust Fund (CTF) voucher and look forward to a TAX-FREE lump sum for the child when they reach age 18

Child Trust FundAs the parent or guardian of a newly born child, the Government will have provided you with a £250 Child Trust Fund voucher to be invested in a CTF savings plan on their behalf. With Shepherds you can invest this in our Stakeholder CTF and go on saving to build up a useful TAX-FREE lump sum for them when they reach the age of 18.

Just look at what the Shepherds CTF Plan has to offer:


Simple to open

Just complete our CTF application form and return this to us with the Government's £250 CTF voucher and we'll take care of the rest.

Save from just £10 a month up to £1200 a year

You can also build on the initial £250 sum by investing from as little as £10 a month as regular savings. Grandparents, aunts, uncles and even family friends can also make contributions as well on a monthly basis or as one-off contributions at times such as birthdays or at Christmas - right up to the maximum total of £1200 in any one tax year.

A TAX-FREE lump sum for your child when they reach age 18

At the maturity of the Plan your child will receive a lump sum which is completely TAX-FREE so they can enjoy the full benefits of your savings.
