Start investing - for children aged 8-14

Please note: this course is intended for purchase by adults over the age of 18 who may watch and learn alongside their children. Starting to invest at a young age is one of the biggest predictors of financial success and security when you are older. In this course we'll help young children between 8 and 14 years old to understand the basics of investing and to create an investing strategy alongside their parents.

The course is split into two halvesthe first half is for children to watch alongside their parentsthe second half is to provide parents with the basics of investing and how to set up an investing account for your childIn the children's course you will learn:What is money and why we have itHow inflation can eat away at our moneyWhy we need to invest to grow our moneyHow diversification can reduce the risk to our moneyShares - what they are and how they can grow our moneyBonds - how we can earn by lending our money to companies and governmentsFunds - how we can use funds to put our eggs in lots of basketsHow to build your first portfolioIn the parent's course you will learnHow to set up a Junior ISA (for UK parents)How to transfer an existing Junior ISA or Child Trust FundAn introduction to Shares, Bonds and FundsThe children's course is 1 hour 30 minutes long - but I recommend you watch just one chapter at a time. The chapters are around 20-30 minutes long and cover just one main topic. I'd advise watching just before a meal where you can discuss what you have just learned as a family.
