Education fees planning

Giving your children the best start in life with a good education can put a strain on family finances, if you don't plan ahead. Fees for private schools and university may need to be paid for many years.

We provide advice on how to build a sufficient lump sum to pay for your children's or grandchildren's education. With rising fees and inflation ruling out traditional savings accounts, we offer tax-efficient, flexible alternatives, including investment fund portfolios, regular savings plans, and trusts. The choice depends on your personal and financial circumstances.

Investment funds can be set up and managed, for example, using a trust or foundation allowing grandparents to contribute to your children's education while reducing inheritance tax liability.

With careful, early planning substantial savings can be made on the cost of your children's primary, secondary & tertiary education.
