I see that Sharesies is looking at kids accounts and you can invest as little as $5. This would be great for my daughter, as I want her to buy into several index funds, but at $50 a month, her pocket money wouldn't allow it. I have emailed investnow and asked when they will have kids accounts and if they would consider lowering the $50 even it if was for under 18 year old. Be interesting to see what they come back with.

Why not just set up with Sharesies? I see they have changed their fee structure too, so its no the $30 per annum up front. Its monthly now and goes on the balance you have invested. The less invested, the less you pay so it may be worth considering them.

Yes will look into it. Investnow got back to me super quick. They do have kids accounts, and you can invest monthly, bimonthly or half yearly, so that won't strain the pocket money to much.
Funny though, she was sprung at school doing something super naughty so among other punishments she has to do her chores for 1 month without pocket money. That will hurt the bank account.
