OP First Investment is a real step towards long-term saving and investment for babies and their families.

It makes sense to start early

When a child learns about investing and spending from an early age, they gain a solid foundation for a financially secure future. Financial literacy supports the wellbeing of individuals and society as a whole.

An investment that could grow with your child

OP Financial Group member cooperative banks are giving OP First Investment – a 100-euro investment in OP-World Index fund – to every baby born in Finland this year.

This one-off investment of 100 euros could grow over the years. Based on an expected return of 6%, the sum would increase to 285 euros in 18 years.

If you start investing through the fund at the same time (with 40 euros a month, for example) the sum could amount to 15,598 euros by the time the child is 18. You can start investing monthly with just 10 euros a month. Even small sums can add up to thousands of euros by the time the child reaches adulthood.

Initial investment: 100 € Monthly investment: 40 € Expected return: 6 % Investment period: 18 years Amount saved: 8 740 € Income: 6 858 € Total: 15 598 €
