預金、学資保険、投資の選択肢を比較し、各家庭に適した資産形成を考える

Quick Look

Why It Matters

こどもNISAが2027年1月から始まります。主な用途は教育資金の準備ですが、これまで一般的だった預金や学資保険と比べて、どちらが良いのか。各家庭に合った備えのあり方を考えます。

教育資金の備え、選択肢はさまざま

こどもNISAは0~17歳対象で、子の名義の口座で年60万円まで投資できる。18歳以上が対象だったNISAのつみたて投資枠の年齢制限を取り払い、実現する。

教育資金の備えには、こどもNISAのほかに、定期預金・個人向け国債・学資保険などもある。

学資保険は長年の低金利で魅力が薄れていたが、最近の金利上昇で改善しつつある。払う保険料に対して受け取れるお金の割合を示す返戻率は現在、110%前後から最大130%程度を掲げる商品がある。生命保険大手の担当者は「返戻率は今後も上がる見通し」という。途中解約すると元本割れもある点には注意したい。

個人向け国債も金利上昇で注目が集まる。変動10年の10月募集分は年率2.05%。1年前の25年10月募集分は当初1.08%だった。

様々な金融商品の中から、何を基準に選べば良いのか。

ファイナンシャルプランナーの芳川宏輔さんは、目的とする資金が必要な時期と、相場変動などのリスクに耐えられる「家計の体力」を踏まえて、資産の配分を整理することを勧めている。

投資に向く家庭は①収入が安定している②高校や大学への進学まで6年以上運用できる③生活防衛や目標達成の資金として一定の貯蓄がある、などの条件が考えられる。生活防衛は生活費6カ月分、目標達成の資金は車や住宅購入の頭金などが目安になるという。

6年以上の運用が難しい人は…

Half of respondents say they won't change the way they buy food even after the tax cut on groceries. Will they use the free money to save and invest?

In a survey by market research company Intage, half of consumers (49.7%) said they would not change the way they buy food even if the consumption tax was reduced. More than one-third of respondents used the money freed up by the tax cut to prepare for the future, including ``savings'' (25.7%) and ``investing'' (10.4%), while a certain number of respondents also used ``travelling, driving, and leisure'' (15.1%), as well as hobbies and pursuits. The survey was conducted between August 28th and September 1st among 3,052 people aged 15 to 79.

Weak yen and long-term interest rates at historic levels, pressure to revise the signature policy of "active fiscal policy" - 1 year since the Takaichi administration took office

One year has passed since the Takaichi administration was inaugurated, and the government's signature policy of ``responsible and proactive fiscal policy'' has caused historic depreciation of the yen and soaring long-term interest rates due to concerns about increased issuance of national debt and accelerating inflation. U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent, concerned about the weakening of the yen and bonds, led the Japanese and U.S. monetary authorities to intervene in coordinated yen buying, and repeatedly called for an early interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan. The administration is emphasizing ``fiscal sustainability'' in order to restore market confidence and aims to curb government bond issuance in preparation for next year's budget, but the huge need for financial resources such as consumption tax cuts and increased defense spending is raising hurdles.
