Investing in a 529 Plan
A 529 plan (also known as a qualified tuition plan) is a tax-advantaged way to contribute to your child’s college savings. While each state offers its own 529 plan, not all plans are created equal. The investment options and flexibility available within each plan will differ somewhat, so it’s important to do some research before choosing what plan to contribute to. Remember, you aren’t restricted to your state of residence’s plan, so shopping around can be beneficial. Learn about your options before investing in a 529 plan so that you can choose the plan that best fits your college savings needs.
