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 there are monetary penalties imposed when withdrawn for other uses.
Rhode Island offers an advisor-sold plan, CollegeBound 529, and a direct-sold plan, CollegeBound Saver. Both plans are managed by Ascensus College Savings which replaced AllianceBernstein as program manager in 2016. The advisor-sold plan features Invesco mutual funds and ETFs, and the direct-sold plan features funds from Invesco, Vanguard and BlackRock.
| State Plan Name: | CollegeBound Fund |
|---|---|
| Minimum Contribution: | $0 |
| Maximum Contribution: | Contributions are cut off once the total market value reaches $395,000. After that, the account will just continue accruing earnings. |
| Fees: | Fees vary from 0.04% to 0.85%, depending on which portfolio you choose and your residency status. |
