What's a custodial account?

With a custodial account (aka Kids Portfolio at Stash), you can buy stocks and ETFs on behalf of the children in your life—and the money is theirs when they reach age of majority. Custodial accounts can be opened by parents, grandparents, or even friends—anyone who wants to pass on generational wealth.

Expert advice in your pocket.

You'll get a personalized investment guidance to fit the needs of the children in your life. Plus, Stash is a Registered Investment Advisor, which it means it's our duty to act in your best interest, always.

Personalized investment portfolio based on moderate risk level.

How to open a custodial account.

Custodial accounts are only offered through our Stash+ account. Once you join Stash+, we’ll help walk you through the process of setting up your custodial account(s).

To prepare, you’ll need the following information for each child:

  1. Full legal name

  2. Date of birth

  3. Social security number

If you invest $5 a day from when a child is born, they could have over $73,000 by age 18.
