Investing for kids isn't as easy as it should be. There is a LOT to consider and this is why, as a parent and an investor, I have not been happy with the existing investment options.

Most diversified investment options are a one stop shop for investors and while suitable for many investors, we do not believe they are appropriate for growing a nest egg for kids.
