You must be aged 18 - 84 and a UK resident for tax purposes. The Royal Bank Invest Junior ISA is a Stocks and Shares Junior ISA. Over longer periods of time (five years or more), investments such as stocks, shares and funds have the potential to give you higher returns compared to cash savings. But the value of investments can fall as well as rise. There is a chance you may get back less than you put in. Eligibility criteria, fees and charges apply.
