Investment Objective

The Portfolios seek to achieve one or more of the following objectives: capital appreciation, income and preservation of capital. Their use will be appropriate for proximity to their applicable 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—reducing exposure to stocks and increasing holdings in fixed income and the Principal Protected Portfolio—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:

iShares Core S&P Total U.S. Stock Market ETF (ITOT) 8.45%
iShares Core MSCI Total International Stock ETF (IXUS) 3.25%
Schwab US REIT ETF (SCHH) 1.30%
Vanguard Intermediate-Term Bond Index Fund (VBIMX) 9.00%
Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond Fund (VSTBX) 7.50%
Vanguard Short-Term Inflation Protected Securities (VTSPX) 10.50%
iShares Core International Aggregate Bond ETF (IAGG) 3.00%
Ameritas Protected Plus Portfolio 57.00%
