It also bears consideration, Nicholas, that gifting some of your existing investments to your son may trigger capital gains tax if you sell investments for a profit. Even if you gifted half the account to him and added his name jointly onto the existing account, deferred capital gains would be triggered.

If you wanted to put some money in your son’s name, but maintain full control over the capital amount, you could set up a discretionary family trust.
