Wrap Junior ISA

Available to existing Wrap clients, offering a tax efficient way to save and invest for eligible Juniors.

The value of investments can go down as well as up, and the investor could get back less than was paid in. Laws and tax rules may change in the future. Personal circumstances and where the investor lives in the UK will also have an impact on tax treatment.

Important documents

Before you start the application

Once you submit an application (available below), our team will open a Wrap account and Junior ISA on the Wrap platform for you, which you will then be able to manage in the normal way for making new payments and inspecie transfers, investment selections and adviser charging.

To apply for a Junior ISA, the Registered Contact or a close family member must be an existing Wrap account holder. Only the Registered Contact has access to the Junior ISA.
A close family member is defined as a parent/guardian, grandparents or siblings.
Before completing this form, please ensure your Registered Contact has read the Key Features and Terms and Conditions.
The wrap account and Junior ISA will be held in the name of the Junior. The details of the Registered Contact will be recorded for contact purposes.
The account will be set to paperless by default and by applying you confirm that the Registered Contact agrees to that option. If you wish to change this you can do so on the platform once the product is set up.
You will be able to configure visibility of this Junior ISA on the Registered Contact’s client portal, as well as making client portal available to the Junior if this is required.

What is involved in the application process?

Complete all required fields and submit the Junior ISA web form. You’ll then receive a confirmation email.
If the Registered Contact is not an existing Wrap client, the anti-money laundering form needs to be completed and uploaded to the Client Document Library once you are provided with the Wrap account number set up.
We will create the Wrap account number for the Junior and generate the wrap services client term and conditions (WRAP66) plus any cash transfer forms.
You’ll be sent the account number. The pre-sale disclosure documents will then be available from the Client Document Library.
Once we are notified that the signed documents and anti-money laundering form (for non-Wrap Registered Contacts) have been returned, we will activate the account.
If you have elected to fund the Junior ISA from another Wrap account, we will move the money into the Junior ISA.
If the Junior is eligible, we’ll link the Junior account to a close family member’s account for family linking.
You will receive email confirmation of the Junior ISA being activated.
The account is then ready for you to use and create deposit instructions.

Things to be aware of

We are using the functionality for Wrap Stocks & Shares ISAs to set up the Junior ISA.
As Wrap accounts are normally for clients aged 18 and above, we will use a mock date of birth and National Insurance number to set the Wrap account up. A copy of the web form will be stored in the Client Document Library with the Junior’s correct details.
The Registered Contact must sign the Wrap Terms and Conditions on behalf of the Junior. Electronic signatures can be carried out using providers that operate within Electronic Identification, Authentication and Trust Services (eIDAS) regulation and comply with the Electronic Communications Act 2000. A list of approved providers can be found here.
We will set up the Junior ISA for you and move any cash requested from an existing Wrap account into the Junior ISA. You are responsible for telling us how the cash should be invested. For deposits using other payment methods, these can be set up by you on the platform.
The child will be the beneficial owner of the investments of the Wrap Junior ISA.
On the Wrap account, client portal and platform outputs/reports, the product name will show as the Stocks & Shares ISA. The account name for the Wrap account will include a reference to Junior ISA to identify the account as being a Junior ISA.
There may be some documents showing our old branding as we have taken a transitional approach but the full literature suite will be updated to show our new branding over the coming months.
The ISA declaration automatically produced by the Wrap platform and sent to the Registered Contact is only suitable for customers who are over 18. You should inform the Registered Contact that it can be ignored and that the correct Junior ISA declaration is available in the Client Document Library.
Please note, an illustration will be generated when the JISA is initially opened reflecting the standard platform charge. Once the JISA is set-up, any future illustrations generated will reflect the correct platform charge (0%). You will then be able to run an existing business illustration based on the initial cash allocation; and once investments have been made in the JISA, to show the investments held by the Junior.
Any illustrations generated on the Junior ISA will not take into account that our platform charge will apply when the Junior turns 18. You should run a revised illustration at that point.
The Charges information document will be produced when you make an investment in the Junior ISA.
