NEST 529 College Savings Plans Offer New Options for Account Owners
Enhancements Include Lower Costs, Updated Age-Based and Static Investments
The changes, designed to elevate the existing strong lineup of investment options, reflect NEST 529’s desire to regularly update offerings to help account owners meet their savings goals.
Age-Based Options
- NEST 529 redesigned its age-based options to maximize return and reduce market risk that may arise because of large asset allocation shifts that occur when a beneficiary moves from one age band to another as the beneficiary approaches college age.
Static Options
- NEST 529 expanded its static investment options to provide account owners more choices based on how close they are to their savings goals. For instance, one option would give those who started saving late investments to help them catch up.
Lowered Fees
- The total estimated annual asset-based fees will change as a result of three factors. 1.
Nebraska lowering its State Administration Fee from 0.03 percent to 0.02 percent. 2. Changes to underlying investments’ expense ratios. 3. The creation of additional age bands in the Age-Based Investment Option and additional Static Investment Options.
“At NEST 529, one of our goals is to offer the best possible investment options to our account owners, positioning their portfolios for success and, in turn, maximizing their savings,” said Treasurer Stenberg, Trustee of NEST 529. “We continuously re-evaluate the performance of those options—along with market conditions—to identify new opportunities, and we believe account owners will be pleased with the latest updates.”
“Establishing savings early is paramount to helping children attain a higher education and achieve their dreams later in life,” said
