7 steps to enrolling in a 529 plan

Pick an investment option

With most 529 plans, you have a choice of investment options, and they typically range from very conservative (e.g. money market funds) to fairly aggressive (e.g. 100% stocks). Select an investment option—or in some plans a mix of options—that best meets your own risk tolerance and your investment objectives. The most popular option in many 529 plans is the so-called “age-based” option that automatically shifts to a more conservative asset allocation as the beneficiary approaches college age. This helps manage risk in your college savings account without you lifting a finger.
