Help your child learn the basics of investing in shares. Put it into practice building their first portfolio together.
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 halves
the first half is for children to watch alongside their parents
the second half is to provide parents with the basics of investing and how to set up an investing account for your child
In the children's course you will learn:
What is money and why we have it
How inflation can eat away at our money
Why we need to invest to grow our money
How diversification can reduce the risk to our money
Shares - what they are and how they can grow our money
Bonds - how we can earn by lending our money to companies and governments
Funds - how we can use funds to put our eggs in lots of baskets
How to build your first portfolio
In the parent's course you will learn
How to set up a Junior ISA (for UK parents)
How to transfer an existing Junior ISA or Child Trust Fund
An introduction to Shares, Bonds and Funds
The 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.
