Hi Finance Gurus, My 10 years old son is interested in investing . For the start i want to teach him how to invest in US ETF’s. Is there a way to open a minor account in IBKR or similar platforms ?

Start young is good.

You can also get a Zebedee wallet, which is a Lightning Networi wallet, n accumulate satoshis from apps like Fountain

To teach your 10-year-old son how to invest in US ETFs and open a minor account in platforms like IBKR in Singapore, you can consider setting up a custodial account. This type of account allows a parent to manage investments on behalf of a minor. IBKR offers Trust Accounts that can hold stocks for young individuals, making it a suitable option for your son's investment journey. When opening an account for your son, you may need to provide specific documents as part of the application process.
​

Additionally, Interactive Brokers offers Non-Professional Advisors accounts for easy management and trading across multiple accounts. Moreover, IBKR Custody Accounts cater to institutions that cannot deposit margin collateral directly with a broker/dealer, providing an alternative solution for trading stocks and options.

Besides investing, you can help your child establish a solid foundation in basic money management and budget planning. Some important financial literacy lessons you can teach your child include: A weekly allowance to teach daily budgeting, or Never ritualise tasks or attach a cost to routine activities.

You can open under your name and let him play with paper trading.
