What is a Junior ISA?

A Junior Stocks and Shares ISA is a tax-efficient investment account designed to help you invest for a child’s future. Instead of simply putting money aside in a Cash Junior ISA, a Junior Stocks and Shares ISA invests in a wide range of assets—giving you the potential for higher long-term growth, all under the annual tax-free allowance. By opening one on behalf of a child under 18, you’re harnessing the power of compounding to build a nest egg they can access, tax-free, at 18.

Key to the figures

Moneyfarm returns net of fees since inception (01/01/2016) vs. average peer group performance over the same time period. These past performance figures are simulated. Past performance is no indicator of future performance. The allocations shown above are based on our model portfolios at a point in time, so they’re an illustration of how your actual portfolio might look. The exact composition may differ, if the value of your portfolio falls below c. £3,000.

Moneyfarm data

The returns here are simulated using an assumed balance of £250,000, and the average management fee from our pricing model of 0.46% from 01/01/2016 to 31/10/2017 and 0.55% from 01/11/2017 to the 31/12/19. The returns are net of underlying fund costs and market spread. The returns are the total returns, so include all dividends. (Data Source: Bloomberg/xignite).

Peer Comparison Data

Asset Risk Consultants ARC collects the monthly returns of a collection of discretionary investment managers including large Asset managers, private banks and Wealth Managers to create an index of the average returns for a given level of risk.

ARC compiles indexes using the average competitor returns, including Barclays Wealth, HSBC, Investec Wealth and Investment and Blackrock, as well as many others.

Please note that ARC does not independently verify the performance of the Model submitted by Moneyfarm.

ARC benchmarks are as follows:

Private Client Index Relative: Risk to World Equities

ARC Cautious PCI: 0 – 40%

ARC Balanced Asset PCI: 40 – 60%

ARC Steady Growth PCI: 60 – 80%

ARC Equity Risk PCI: 80 – 110%

Where the relative risk to World Equities means you are taking approximately that percentage of the risk global stock markets.

Risk level 1

ARC does not produce an index that is a suitable comparison for P1, as it does not contain any equity. We use monthly GBP Libor + 0.5%, as this is a cash proxy, which Moneyfarm believes is a fair comparison.

Risk level 2

Risk level 2 is compared to the ARC Cautious Private Client Index (PCI)

Risk level 3

Risk level 3 is compared to the ARC Cautious Private Client Index (PCI)

Risk levels 4

Risk level 4 is compared to the ARC Balanced Asset Private Client Index (PCI)

Risk level 5

Risk level 5 is compared to the ARC Steady Growth Private Client Index (PCI)

Risk level 6

Risk level 6 is compared to the ARC Steady Growth Private Client Index (PCI).

On 07/10/2024 we combined two model portfolios into one with a higher equity composition, the past performance of the higher equity model is currently shown. The model became available to clients on 16/05/2019.

This performance may not be representative if you invested before the 07/10/2024.

Risk level 7

Risk level 7 is compared to the ARC Equity Risk Private Client Index (PCI).

This model portfolio only became available to clients on 07/10/2024.

**ESG Performance

Please note that performance data until August 2021 is simulated based on the actual past performance of the underlying ETFs / indices, based on the initial composition of the ESG portfolios. Data is gross of fees, tax payable and shown in GBP and/or EUR. Data provided by Bloomberg.

Past performance is not an indicator of future results.

The chart shows a projection of the future value of the portfolio based on the expected return for each risk level taking into consideration the expected volatility to calculate more and less likely scenarios. Projections are not a reliable indicator of future performance, and are intended as an aid to decision-making, not as a guarantee. The projection includes the effect of fees, assumes income is reinvested and does not take into account the effects of inflation or tax. As with all investments, the value may go down as well as up, and you may not get back the full amount you invested.

Frequently Asked Questions.

The Junior ISA allowance is £9,000 per child per tax year (for 2024/25).

Yes – Moneyfarm has a minimum one-off investment of £500, which is the same as our minimum threshold for other products, and a minimum monthly contribution of £10.

As long as you’re a Moneyfarm client, and a parent or legal guardian with parental responsibility, you are eligible. In addition, your child must be both:

under 18 years of age
and a UK resident

However, if your child lives outside the UK, they can open a Junior ISA if both of the following conditions apply:

you, as the Moneyfarm client, are a Crown servant (in the UK armed forces, diplomatic service, or overseas civil service)
your child depends on you (the Moneyfarm client) for their care

As of the 2022/2023 tax year, the annual allowance, or limit, for a JISA is £9,000. Your JISA allowance resets at the start of each new tax year. The tax year ends on 5th April and your allowance, or any unused portion of it, doesn’t carry over to the next tax year, so if you don’t want to lose it, you should use it. Please note, tax treatments depend on your individual circumstances and may change in the future.

The money in a Junior ISA belongs to the child in all but exceptional circumstances. They cannot withdraw the money until they’re 18 years of age.

Moneyfarm don’t currently accept customers under the age of 18, so unfortunately we can’t onboard 16–year-olds. Your child will have to wait until they are 18 years old to become the registered contact.

Yes – you may transfer Cash JISAs, Stocks & Shares JISAs, and Child Trust Funds to Moneyfarm.

Anyone, including parents, grandparents, friends, or family can contribute on behalf of the child, so long as the total contributions don’t exceed the annual JISA limit.

Once your child turns 18, their JISA will be put on hold. All the child simply needs to do is create a Moneyfarm account, open an ISA portfolio, and get in touch with us. We’ll migrate their funds from their JISA portfolio to their very own adult ISA portfolio. While the JISA remains on hold, Moneyfarm will continue to manage, rebalance, and apply fees, however, we can’t accept any new contributions (either one-off or recurring), or make any transfers until it has been migrated to an ISA.
