529 Plan Investment Options
Just like your 401k or IRA, your 529 plan's performance will be based on its underlying investments, so it's important to select the right combination of potential risk and reward to meet your needs.
Each plan's investment options pages help you make the best choice by highlighting details of their underlying investments in a visually friendly and easy to read format, including expense ratio, historical returns and asset allocation.
