In a world where the financial future seems increasingly uncertain, finding a reliable and affordable way to secure our children’s futures is more important than ever. This is especially true for American families living in the UK, who often face additional hurdles in navigating the complexities of international finance. Recognising this, Edale have taken a significant step forward to make financial planning and growth more accessible for children with US passports and straightforward for their families.
A Fresh Approach to American Junior ISA
After thoroughly reviewing our pricing plans, we’re excited to announce a more accessible and simplified approach to helping families grow their children’s nest eggs. Reflecting our innovative hybrid adviser model, we have reshaped our fees to offer financial adviser led plan for starting and growing a Junior ISA at a flat rate of just £5 a month.
This new pricing plan is designed to break down barriers to financial advice, making it easier for families to secure a prosperous future for their children through the maze and complexity of being a dual citizen or US passport holder. With a financial adviser always on hand, we ensure compliance, reporting, and that every step of your child financial journey is as smooth and beneficial as possible.
The Edale Advantage
Our new model stands in stark contrast to traditional financial services, where costs can quickly add up, making it challenging for many families to access the advice they need. For instance, with platforms like Hargreaves Lansdown, Americans are restricted from purchasing funds, leading to a default option of stock buying, which incurs a fee of £5.95 per transaction. For those seeking the diversification benefits of a 20-stock portfolio, the costs can skyrocket to £119 each month.
In comparison, Edale’s Junior ISA offers a more cost-effective solution. For a standard financial setup of a £100 per month contribution and an initial lump sum of £3000—equivalent to a third of the annual allowance—our flat £5 monthly fee presents good value for American children in a complex situation. This approach makes financial advice more affordable and opens up the opportunity for greater investment diversification without the prohibitive costs.
