What is a 529 Plan?
A 529 plan is a tax-advantaged savings plan designed to encourage families to save for college. Earnings on 529 investments accumulate tax-tree, and distributions are tax-exempt, as long as they are applied toward eligible education expenses such as tuition and room and board. The investments underlying a 529 plan typically consist of mutual funds. Investment returns are not guaranteed, and you could lose money by investing in the Plan.
