$200 in Investment Units Offered Through Children’s Investment Starter Plan
Port of Spain: July 4, 2025 – In celebration of students transitioning to secondary school, the Trinidad and Tobago Unit Trust Corporation (UTC) is proud to reintroduce its Children’s Investment Starter Plan (CISP) S.E.A. Promotion, a timely initiative that rewards academic achievement with an early start to financial independence.
From July 1 to September 5, 2025, families who open a new CISP account and invest a minimum of $100 will receive an additional $200 in investment units, courtesy of UTC. This offer is designed to give young investors a meaningful head starts on their long-term financial journey and an early boost toward financial independence.
This promotion underscores UTC’s enduring commitment to fostering a culture of savings and investment from an early age. The CISP allows parents, guardians, and well-wishers to invest on behalf of a child from birth, with funds directed to UTC’s Growth and Income Fund (GIF) The GIF is a professionally managed, diversified portfolio designed to deliver steady, long-term returns. The account remains in the child’s name, with access granted at age 18, empowering young adults to make informed financial decisions at a pivotal life stage.
“The transition to secondary school is a major milestone,” said Nigel Edwards, Executive Director of UTC. “At UTC, we believe it’s also the ideal moment to begin investing in a child’s future, as the Fund matures alongside them. Through the CISP, we’re celebrating educational success while enabling families to build a legacy of financial empowerment.”
Beyond the initial incentive, the CISP delivers added value through automatic reinvestment of dividends, which are distributions of the fund’s earnings. This reinvestment feature accelerates the growth of the child’s investment over time, without requiring any additional action, maximizing long-term returns.
The CISP provides a solid foundation of financial security to help children turn their aspirations into achievements. This initiative aligns with UTC’s broader mission of promoting economic inclusion and prosperity through accessible investment opportunities.
