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 there are monetary penalties imposed when withdrawn for other uses.
TIAA-CREF took over the management of California's ScholarShare 529 from Fidelity in November 2011. The plan features two age-based options; one using actively managed mutual funds and one using index mutual funds. It also offers 17 static investment options.
| State Plan Name: | ScholarShare College Savings Plan |
|---|---|
| Minimum Contribution: | $25 |
| Maximum Contribution: | Account balances cannot exceed $475,000 per designated beneficiary. Balances continue to accrue earnings. |
| Fees: | 0.03% asset management fee and a 0.05% board administrative fee |
