President Trump rang the opening bell for the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq from the Oval Office Monday to mark the launch of his administration’s tax-advantaged investment accounts for children.
The Trump Accounts include a one-time $1,000 federal seed deposit for eligible U.S. citizen children born between Jan. 1, 2025, and Dec. 31, 2028. Parents, relatives, employers, and others can contribute up to $5,000 per year, with the money invested in low-cost U.S. stock index funds until the child reaches adulthood.
The accounts were created as part of the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act and officially opened for contributions on July 4
