You're putting your money to work for your child. Low-cost index funds offer a transparent, diversified way to invest in the share market**. This means that you have the potential to passively earn money for child's future.

You're giving your child a financial education. With Pearler Headstart, you can set investing goals and share them with your child. In doing so, you can teach them positive money habits as they grow.
