529 Plans

Named for their section in the Internal Revenue Code, 529 Plans allow states to offer investors professionally managed tax advantaged portfolios to help meet rising college expenses. The benefits for investors include:
The potential for tax free growth
A diversified portfolio of investments
Control over withdraws for the life of the accord
Proceeds may be used at any accredited post-secondary school in the U.S. Examples of who should consider a 529 Plan are:
Parents saving for college
Investors, with time to save, in an above average federal tax bracket
Grandparents looking to reduce their estate
UGMA Custodians
Favorable state-based benefits may be available only if the customer invests in a 529 Plan offered by the customer or beneficiary's home state; any state-based benefits that are available are one of many appropriately weighted factors that should be considered by the customer in making his or her investment decision; and the customer should consult with a tax adviser regarding the purchase of the 529 Plan.  Howe Barnes Hoefer & Arnett, Inc.  encourages its customers to contact their home state to learn more about any state-based benefits that might be available.
