Give the kids a nest egg this Easter

Finding the perfect Easter gift for children or grandchildren can be tricky. This year, consider swapping chocolate for a nest egg: an investment held in trust for their future. Through FMD’s Rev Invest platform, you can give a gift that grows with them, builds lifelong financial skills and supports their future goals. It's quick and easy to set-up and account in trust for someone aged under 18 and there's online support if you need help.

Rev Invest: Strong performance and a great way to learn about investing

Children have something adults don’t: time. Even small contributions made now have decades to compound. Rev Invest makes it easy to start building early wealth. An investment trust isn’t just a financial gift; it’s also about building financial literacy in kids.

As children get older, an online investment account is a tangible way to them understand what investing is, why regular contributions matter, how markets rise and fall, and the power of compound returns. Now celebrating more than three years, the platform has delivered strong performance across five distinct portfolios. It’s easy to open an account in a few quick steps at revinvest.com.au

How to set up a Rev Invest account for a child

A trust is an easy way to invest for a child. The assets are held for them while you act as trustee, staying in control of decisions and withdrawals until they’re ready to take over. Parents or relatives can set up a Rev Invest account for anyone under 18 by following the simple five-step process and choosing ‘On behalf of a Minor.’ The account is designated to the child, but the investment stays legally in your name until they come of age

The financial education your kids didn't get at school

For those not yet ready to invest, but keen to boost their money knowledge, savings and credit score, we've partnered with the team at Flux Finance, developers of a popular app designed to do just that.

Flux have already helped 400,000 Aussies win at money and now there's an FMD version of the app focused on building investment knowledge.

Watch this short video from Flux Co-founder, Brett Joffe, about the benefits of joining the Flux community.

So, if you’re getting together with kids, grandkids, nieces and nephews, spread the word about the FMD Flux app. Like most apps, there are some premium services which attract a subscription fee, but family and friends of FMD can access our dedicated version of the app free of charge for 12 months. Think of it as our gift to the young adults in your life.

They can download the Flux app here or scan the QR code below and start winning at money.
