How best to invest for your grandchildren? It’s a question that many grandparents ask themselves when considering what to do with their savings and investments. If the answer is “well,” then you should be focusing on investing strategies that will best benefit your grandchildren.
Investing – and saving – are two of the most important things you can do for your grandchildren, especially as college tuition costs continue to climb.

An individual retirement account, or IRA, is a tax-advantaged savings account where you keep investments such as stocks, ETFs, bonds, mutual funds and other asset types.
