The engage stakeholder account invests your child's money in an Open Ended Investment Company (OEIC). The OEIC is a pooled investment, which invests in shares of a spread of companies.
The money is placed initially in the engage Investment Growth Fund, which invests in shares in a spread of companies listed on the FTSE 100 index in the UK. As this is a stock market-based investment, its value can fall as well as rise. Your child may not get back all that is invested for them.
The child's cash lump sum payout at the age of 18 will depend on the investment performance, and cannot be guaranteed.
