How We Invest

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between 529 plans and UTMA/UGMA accounts, and which is better for my situation?

529 plans offer tax-free growth when used for qualified education expenses and maintain parental control, but have restricted uses. UTMA/UGMA accounts provide more flexibility in spending but transfer to the child at adulthood and can impact financial aid eligibility. A wealth advisor can help evaluate which option—or combination—best fits your family’s needs and goals.

How early should we start planning for education expenses, and how much should we save?

It’s ideal to begin planning as early as possible to maximize tax-advantaged growth potential. The appropriate savings amount depends on several factors: anticipated education costs, number of children, time horizon, and whether you plan to cover partial or full expenses. A wealth advisor can help create projections and funding strategies based on your specific situation.
