CANÂ IÂ HAVEÂ 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).
No more broken toys and unworn clothes!
Your childâs account comes with a unique gifting link that you can share with family and friends. Theyâll be able to send personalized gifts for birthdays, holidays, or just because.
Fabric was founded by parents for parents. We know how daunting it can be to start your investing journeyâwhich is why we work hard to keep our fees low.
Your account comes with features like automated investing, access to a dashboard to track your investments, and portfolio options to fit different life stages.
