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 there are monetary penalties imposed when withdrawn for other uses.
The NextGen 529 is managed by Merrill Lynch for the state of Maine. The direct sold version of the 529 plan, the Client Direct Series, is available through Merrill Edge and currently offers 11 investment options through BlackRock (including iShares). The advisor-sold plan, the Client Select Series, currently offers 37 investment options through multiple fund families.
