529 Performance Rankings
Saving For College's exclusive 529 plan performance rankings show best-to-worst performance results, updated quarterly.
These rankings are based on an analysis and comparison of historical investment performances of age-based and year-of-enrollment portfolios offered by each 529 plan. You can find a complete description of our methodology in our white paper.
The data used in our analysis is provided to us directly by the 529 plan administrators, or obtained from publicly available sources. We make efforts to ensure the accuracy of the data used to produce these rankings, but please note that the performance data has not been verified and may be incomplete and/or inaccurate. You should not rely on these rankings but instead refer to official program disclosures.
