Is a Junior SIPP Better Than a Junior ISA?
Neither is automatically better. A Junior SIPP is specifically intended for retirement and may benefit from pension tax relief, but the money is inaccessible until the minimum pension age. A Junior ISA can be accessed by the child at 18, making it potentially more suitable for financial needs earlier in adulthood. The right approach depends on the purpose of the savings and individual circumstances.
