CEOs are lining up behind the $1,000 Trump Accounts for babies
Read Original Source
Good morning. The Treasury Department announced yesterday that BNY and Robinhood will build and run the app for Trump’s tax-deferred investing accounts for kids, which is due to launch in July and be seeded with $1,000 of federal money for babies born between 2025 and 2028. While critics say there are better places to deploy that cash, investing early is a time-tested way to build wealth.
