A range of banks, building societies and companies offer various types of savings and investment accounts targeted to those saving for when their child becomes an adult. Plans can either revolve around regular payments into a savings account or an investment that provide long term growth or maturity on a particular date. All options have advantages and disadvantages, and any research done by parents can go a long way in identifying what they want from the savings and what kind of return they are after.

Any amount of capital can provide an excellent headstart for someone starting off in life, whether it is to help them through university and help as a deposit for a house.
