ETF choices and simplicity

When it comes to investing for kids, the biggest advantage they have is time.

But what is the best way to set it up?

We answer the flood of questions coming in from the Equity Mates community like whose name it should be in and what to buy.

We cover:

• Whether to invest in your own name or set up a minor trust, investment bond or super account.

• The tax rules parents need to understand.

• How we’d build a simple ETF portfolio designed for decades of compounding.

📈 Stocks and ETFs Mentioned: GHHF, DHHF, IVV, NDQ
