Apologies if this is a FAQ, but a quick Google doesn't throw up any recent posts that I can find!
We will shortly be receiving the voucher from the government to use as the basis for a Child Trust Fund account for our newborn. What are people's recommendations for good investments for the money? I'm not particularly risk-averse, and would prefer something with a higher potential return rather than going for the most secure (although my wife will no doubt slap me if I head off into too speculative an arena), and obviously we want to avoid investments with excessive fees or other costs.
Any suggestions?
Mark
