START HERE: Investing for Grandchildren - The Gift That Lasts A lifetime

More and more grandparents are choosing investment gifts over toys, and for good reason.

In this Start Here episode, Canna walks through how grandparents can give their grandchildren a meaningful financial head start — not just with money, but with confidence, education, and long-term opportunity.

This episode is inspired by:

• A growing trend highlighted on Channel 9 The Today Show

• Recent media coverage showing grandparents replacing Christmas and birthday gifts with investments

• The power of long-term compounding and intergenerational wealth

In this episode, we cover:

• Why investing for grandchildren is becoming so popular

• The emotional and educational benefits of investment gifts

• How time is a child’s greatest investing advantage

• What this money could help fund one day (education, travel, business, property, freedom)

• How to structure an investment account for a child (trustee-style accounts)

• An example platform that allows investing “as trustee for a child”

• Why ETFs and LICs are ideal long-term investments for kids

• The importance of dividend reinvestment and buy-and-hold investing

• How to turn investing into a family tradition

• A simple example showing how $1,000 invested each year could grow over 18 years

• Why this gift goes far beyond money — it’s belief, values, and legacy

Important reminder:

This episode is general information only and not personal financial advice. Everyone’s situation is different, and you should consider seeking advice before making financial decisions.

Want to get started?

• Look for an investment platform that allows investing as trustee for a child
