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 there are monetary penalties imposed when withdrawn for other uses.
Fidelity Investments manages two New Hampshire 529 savings plans, a direct-sold 529 plan (UNIQUE) and an advisor-sold (Fidelity Advisor 529). Both programs feature Fidelity Investments mutual funds.
