The Child Trust Funds (Amendment) Regulations 2025

Published: Tue 24th Jun 25 Came into force: Tue 15th Jul 25

Department: HM Treasury
Made under: Child Trust Funds Act 2004

The Child Trust Funds (Amendment) Regulations 2025 amended the 2004 Regulations to extend the qualifying investment period for certain UCITS until December 31, 2026.

These regulations, effective July 15, 2025, amend the 2004 Child Trust Funds Regulations.

Specifically, they extend the period during which certain investments (units or shares in recognised UCITS, or those within umbrella schemes) are considered qualifying investments until December 31, 2026.

This prevents those investments from losing their qualified status and safeguards children's savings.
