Tax-advantaged investing, simplified.

It’s simple: What you save on taxes could go towards college savings.

HI529 offers unique tax advantages, including:

Tax-deferred growth. Earnings grow tax deferred from federal and state income taxes.
Tax-free withdrawals. Withdrawals for qualified higher education expenses are exempt from federal and state tax.¹
Gift-tax benefits. Contributions qualify for the $14,000 (or $28,000 for married couples filing jointly) federal annual gift tax exclusion per beneficiary.
Estate planning benefits. Reduce your personal taxable estate by making five years' worth of gifts (up to $70,000; $140,000 for married couples filing jointly) in one lump sum.²

¹Earnings on non-qualified withdrawals are subject to federal income tax and may be subject to a 10% federal penalty tax, as well as state and local income taxes. The availability of tax or other benefits may be contingent on meeting other requirements. See the Disclosure Booklet for more details on qualified expenses.
²In the event you do not survive the five-year period, a pro-rated amount will revert back to your taxable estate.

Please Note: Before investing in any 529 plan, you should consider whether your or the beneficiary's home state offers a 529 plan that provides its taxpayers with favorable state tax and other benefits that are only available through investment in the home state's 529 plan. You also should consult your financial, tax, or other adviser to learn more about how state-based benefits (or any limitations) would apply to your specific circumstances. You also may wish to contact directly your home state's 529 plan(s), or any other 529 plan, to learn more about those plans' features, benefits and limitations. Keep in mind that state-based benefits should be one of many appropriately weighted factors to be considered when making an investment decision.
