About OneFamily's Junior ISA
A OneFamily Junior ISA is an investment account that can be opened for a child under 16 by someone who has parental responsibility for the child.
Anyone can pay money in, and the child will be able to access it when they turn 18 without paying any tax on any money they withdraw.
OneFamily’s Junior ISA is a stocks and shares junior ISA. That means the money that you pay in goes into a fund that’s invested in the stock market.
This gives your money good potential to outgrow interest rates, but there is a risk that its value could go down, which would mean your child getting back less than has been paid in.
You can invest up to £9,000 in a junior ISA each tax year. But you don’t need to invest as much as that, at OneFamily, our minimum investment is just £10 a month by Direct Debit or a £100 one-off payment (and you’ll receive a cashback payment for monthly direct debits of £25 and over).
Once your JISA is open, you'll be able to sign up for member benefits.
You have a choice of two funds
As our Junior ISA invests in stocks and shares, its value can go down as well as up meaning your child could get less than was paid in.

*UK Sustainable Investment Labels
"Sustainable Investment Labels" have been introduced to help investors find products that have a specific sustainability goal, although not every fund that uses sustainable criteria qualifies for these labels. Because the way Family Charities Ethical Trust Fund invests doesn't exactly align with the definition used for these labels, this product doesn't have a UK Sustainable Investment label.
More information on sustainability labels, and a reminder of how Family Charities Ethical Trust Fund targets sustainable environmental outcomes, can be found in our sustainability disclosure document.
Find out about UK Sustainable Investment Labels on the Financial Conduct Authority website.
