What is the ‘Trump Account’ scheme?

Trump Account is a special investment scheme of the US Government, which has been started keeping in mind the future of children. Under this scheme, the government will initially deposit $ 1,000 in the account of every eligible American child born between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2028. This account will be managed by the child’s parents but the child will be able to use the money deposited in it only after he turns 18 years old. If the family wishes, they can deposit up to $5,000 more in this account every year. The amount deposited in this account will be invested in the index funds of the American stock market, so that good returns can be obtained in the long run and a better fund can be prepared for the future of the child.

Separate help for children up to 10 years

The $1,000 provided by the government is only for newborn children. Michael and Susan Dell have announced to give $ 250 to children aged 10 years and below who live in areas where the average family income is $ 1.5 lakh or less. The aim of this initiative is to provide investment opportunity to those children who do not come under the purview of government seed grant.
