For education...and beyond

Unlike a 529 plan, which is restricted to qualified education expenses, a UGMA investment account can be used for anything that benefits your child—no matter if it’s when they’re minors, in college, or beyond.

CAN I HAVE BOTH?

Yes! Having both a 529 and a UGMA investment account is a great way to set your child up for financial success at any stage of their life.

Accounts will transfer to your child when they reach an age of majority (varies by state, typically 18-21 years old).
