What is the best way to start an investment account for a 6 month old grandchild?


What is the best way to start an investment account for a 6 month old grandchild?

The child has to have a social security number / tax ID. Many brokerage firms allow you the option of opening a "custodial" account...where you manage the account until they are 18 yrs of age.

A custodial account is an account for the benefit of a minor child and managed by a parent or another designated custodian. The custodial account is established under a particular state's Uniform Gift to Minors Act (UGMA) or Uniform Transfer to Minors Act (UTMA). The custodian controls the account until the child reaches the age of majority-18 to 21-depending on the state in which you live. When the child reaches the age of majority (See Eligibility Requirements), they take control of the account.
