The Skipton Child Trust Fund is a non-stakeholder CTF which means that it is a straightforward 'cash' savings account. The money that's put in attracts interest and steadily accumulates until your child reaches the age of 18. Although the interest rate can change, you can be reassured that the money in the account is secure and will grow year on year.
The current interest rate for the non-stakeholder CTF is 6.25% gross pa/AER.
Cash savings over an 18 year term may not perform as well as money invested in shares over the long term, especially when inflation is taken into account. The effect of inflation means that money in the account could lose value over the long term as prices usually increase year on year.
