Start investing - for children aged 8-14

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 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.

Help your child learn the basics of investing in shares. Put it into practice building their first portfolio together.
