How to collect points with The Child Trust Fund

Introducing the Child Trust Fund with a difference

Nectar have teamed up with Family Investments to bring you something a little different from the usual Child Trust Fund (CTF) account.

What's so different about this CTF?

• You'll receive 1,000 points when you apply and send in your voucher.
• Another 1,000 points if you set up a regular direct debit at the same time (minimum payment of £10 per month).
• You can use your Nectar points to top up your child's fund.
• And if you open a Nectar CTF, your child's account will be with the only provider where you can manage the account online!

Please remember that as the account invests in shares your child could get back less than was originally invested.

What is a CTF?

• The Child Trust Fund is a Government initiative aimed at encouraging the savings habit amongst children and their parents. There are a number of accounts available from a variety of providers.
• All children born in the UK after September 2002 and receiving Child Benefit are eligible.
• The Government gives the child a free £250 voucher.
• The voucher must be invested within 12 months, if not the Government will invest it for the child (although you can transfer to another provider at any time).
• Anybody can contribute to a CTF including friends and family – all they need is the account number (remember that only the child can access the money and only when they reach 18).
