Investment Objective

The Portfolios seek to achieve one or more of the following objectives: capital appreciation, income, and preservation of capital. The portfolio objective will change as the portfolio moves toward its target date. The target date is the year which corresponds to the potential college enrollment year of the Beneficiary. The objectives of the Portfolios become more focused on preservation of capital and income and less upon capital appreciation as they approach their applicable target date.

Investment Strategy

The Portfolios allocate their assets to Underlying Investments consisting of ETFs, mutual funds, and funding agreements seeking to provide diversification and exposure to broad asset classes, including domestic US stocks, international stocks, fixed income and capital preservation. The Underlying Investments represent different investment objectives and strategies. The allocation to broad asset classes and weights in the Underlying Investments are expected to change over time. Overall equity allocations will decrease or stay static as the target date approaches, ultimately— reducing exposure to riskier assets until the Beneficiary enrolls in college. The asset class allocations and investment in Underlying Investments may periodically be rebalanced or modified.

The percentages of the Portfolio's assets allocated to each Underlying Fund are:

Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Instl Plus (VSMPX) 54.00%
Schwab US REIT ETF (SCHH) 4.50%
iShares MSCI EAFE Instl Index K (BTMKX) 22.50%
