I wish to invest a small lump sum (£2000) plus a small regular monthly contribution for my daughter who is 10 years old in an equity based investment. Can you please let me know of any products that would be suitable.

Thanks

Have you considered something like a Child Trust Fund?

my understanding is that a CTF can only be opened for a child who was born after the date they started. However if I am wrong please let me know.

My apologies - I read too fast.

It sounds like you'll want to consider something like a Mutual Fund, which are usually based on a whole mix of equities. Some Mutual Funds are even nothing more than investments in other Mutual Funds.

I think this is really something you're going to need a specialise investment broker to advise upon - but do watch out for fees and be very clear on tax liabilities.

Sorry that doesn't sound very helpful - not sure how much information I can give here.
