From November around six million children under 18, who are UK residents and do not have a Child Trust Fund (CTF), will be eligible for a Junior ISA. The limit for Junior ISAs will be set at £3,600, for those who are eligible and able to make the savings. To ensure that children with a CTF are not disadvantaged, the CTF savings limit will treble from £1,200 to £3,600, aligning it with the new Junior ISA limit. Funds in a Junior ISA will be locked-in until age 18 and roll over into an adult ISA on maturity. Children will be able to have one cash and one stocks and shares Junior ISA at any time, with an overarching annual contribution limit of £3,600. This is an increase from the previously proposed limit of £3,000.
