    Custodial account

    Thinking about taking a small amount (think $2k or less) of my 5 yo's savings and invest in some stocks or funds. I would self insure it so he would not lose any money and hopefully get more than the .1% he is getting at the bank. Anyone have any experience doing this? Wondering what the tax ramifications would be for him and myself mainly.

    I’d open a vanguard account and put it into (VTSAX) total stock market mutual fund and let it ride.

    I’d open an account for him wherever you choose. I like fidelity for long, and buy some TSLA stock and forget it
