DC College Savings Plan - Investment Options


	Age Based Portfolios
	Single Fund Investments
	Stability of Principal

If you are a more experienced investor, you or your financial advisor may want to direct your DC College Savings Plan contributions to one or more of the single fund investments.

Once you have made a selection, plan rules limit the number of times you may change your investment allocation.You may change the investment only once per year or when you change the account beneficiary. For this reason, it is important to think through your investment choices carefully and be sure you are comfortable with them.

Six single fund investments are available through the plan. Expenses for these investments are different from investing directly in the Fund outside of the Plan. Review the Program Disclosure Booklet for more complete information.
