More and more Aussie families are looking for ways to build wealth for the young ones in their life. With interest rates falling and inflation continuing to bite into savings, traditional savings accounts are no longer enough. Families are looking for smarter, long-term alternatives to help their kids get ahead. Investing - especially when started early - can make a huge difference.

In this webinar, Tom Wilson and Phoebe Kohler walk you through how to invest for a child's future — simply, affordably, and with long-term impact.

Tom and Phoebe cover:

  • How $50 a week could grow to $84,000 by age 18 
  • How to invest using shares, ETFs, bonds and more 
  • Account types: in your name, informal trusts, and beyond 
  • How to keep fees low and manage tax 
  • Tips for getting kids involved early
