More and more grandparents are choosing investment gifts over toys, and for good reason.

In this Start Here episode, Canna walks through how grandparents can give their grandchildren a meaningful financial head start — not just with money, but with confidence, education, and long-term opportunity.

This episode is inspired by:


A growing trend highlighted on Channel 9 The Today Show


Recent media coverage showing grandparents replacing Christmas and birthday gifts with investments


The power of long-term compounding and intergenerational wealth

In this episode, we cover:


Why investing for grandchildren is becoming so popular


The emotional and educational benefits of investment gifts


How time is a child’s greatest investing advantage


What this money could help fund one day (education, travel, business, property, freedom)


How to structure an investment account for a child (trustee-style accounts)


An example platform that allows investing “as trustee for a child”


Why ETFs and LICs are ideal long-term investments for kids


The importance of dividend reinvestment and buy-and-hold investing


How to turn investing into a family tradition


A simple example showing how $1,000 invested each year could grow over 18 years


Why this gift goes far beyond money — it’s belief, values, and legacy

Important reminder:

This episode is general information only and not personal financial advice. Everyone’s situation is different, and you should consider seeking advice before making financial decisions.
