Use a 529 Plan to Offset Rising Education Costs
One of the most sound investments you can make to help pay for your child's higher education is by using a 529 plan. These funds grow in a tax-free environment, and generally have a 3-5% rate of return. The only catch is that all funds need to be used for higher education, and if not... there are monetary penalties imposed when withdrawn for other uses.
Arkansas’ direct-sold 529 savings program, the GIFT College Investing Plan, is managed by Ascensus College Savings and features age-based and static portfolio options utilizing Vanguard mutual funds. An advisor-sold Arkansas 529 plan, the iShares 529 Plan, was added in 2007 as the first 529 plan to exclusively feature exchange-traded funds (ETF).
State Plan Name: | GIFT College Investing Plan |
