US Treasury launches "Trump Accounts" for children, defaulting to S&P 500 ETF

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The United States Department of the Treasury has launched "Trump Accounts," a new type of custodial individual retirement account for children under 18. Eligible children born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, will receive an initial $1,000 contribution from the Treasury. Additional contributions can be made by parents, relatives, friends, and employers, with significant pledges already announced by philanthropists like Michael and Susan Dell. Initially, all funds will be invested by default in the State Street SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF (SPYM), with options to reallocate funds to other investments expected in the coming months. AI
