US Government Launches Trump Accounts for Children
New tax-deferred investment accounts for US children.
Event Overview
The US government has introduced 'Trump Accounts' (530A accounts), which are tax-deferred investment accounts for US citizen children under 18. These accounts allow annual contributions of up to $5,000 from parents, employers, and government agencies, with funds invested in S&P 500 tracking ETFs managed by BNY Mellon. A pilot program provides a one-time $1,000 government deposit for children born between 2025 and 2028, while a donation from Michael and Susan Dell targets lower-income children born between 2016 and 2024.
