BBC reports on the launch of Trump Accounts, a new US children’s savings scheme offering a $1,000 starter for babies born 2025–2028 and up to $5,000 yearly contributions, invested in a low-cost index fund; while officials say it expands stock ownership for kids, critics say it’s too complex and may mainly help relatively well-off families; as of launch, about six million families had signed up and deposits reached around $125 million, with projected outcomes ranging from roughly $6,000 by 18 with no further contributions to potentially $271,000 with max annual input.
