Open an account, we’ll toss in a $25 bonus

We're all searching for the perfect gift, especially for the children in our lives. Most times you have to settle -- for something that's just okay. Not this year.

Take advantage of our holiday bonus. You’ll start building a gift that will make a difference in a child’s life: a ShareBuilder custodial account.

How Custodial Accounts Work: EASY!

1. Open custodial account – if you have the child's SSN, it only takes 5 minutes

2. Deposit funds – from your paycheck or bank account, automatically if you like

3. Manage account & teach child – explain how investing works, using the account and ShareBuilder tools
Hand off control at adulthood – child has learned to invest on their own

You already know how easy ShareBuilder makes your investing. That makes it a great place for a custodial account, plus you know the child will have the tools to become a responsible investor. That's a much better gift than you'd find in a store.

As a special holiday incentive, we'll put a $25 bonus into the first custodial account you open this holiday season. Simply create an Automatic Investment Plan by 1/15/08 and use it to invest at least $25 for three consecutive months, then we'll add $25. Please use the promotion code STOCKGIFT07 during the account setup.
