</p><p>HMRC does not have records of, nor have they made any estimations of, CTF accounts
where the child or their parents is unaware of which firm is maintaining the account.
CTF providers are required in legislation to send out regular statements to the contact
for the account. However, although the primary relationship is between the account
provider and the child’s parents, if they don’t know which provider is managing their
child’s account, they can use the following online form to track the account.</p><p>

</p><p>HMRC estimates the market value of all Child Trust Funds (as at 2015-16), which
will start to be eligible to be accessed by their beneficial holder from September
2020, to be £7,450 m. This estimate used the latest complete Child Trust Fund information
available to HMRC – relating to 2015-16. This may not necessarily be reflective of
the market value the accounts when they reach maturity.</p><p> </p><p>A complete list
of authorised Child Trust Fund Providers is held at the following webpage: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/list-of-authorised-child-trust-fund-providers/child-trust-fund-account-providers"
