New York, NY, September 13, 2021 – J.P. Morgan Wealth Management announced today that it will offer its advisor-sold 529 plans without the industry standard upfront fee (“front-end load or sales charge”). With this change, more of what the client invests goes towards their education goals.
College tuition costs are rising 6.3% every year, according to J.P. Morgan’s College Planning Essentials report. 529 plans provide a tax-advantaged way for families to invest for the future costs of higher education. Some also can help cover costs of K-12 tuition, vocational school and registered apprenticeships. There are no income limits on contributions or age restrictions on beneficiaries, unlike other types of accounts often used for education.
J.P. Morgan Wealth Management advisors will offer select 529 plans without the sales charge, which for advisor-sold investments can be as high as 5.75%. Other fees and expenses will continue to apply.
