my529’s Investment Manager Series: PIMCO Interest Income Fund and FDIC-Insured
my529 offers multiple principal preservation products, including the PIMCO (Pacific Investment Management Company) Interest Income Fund and our FDIC-Insured accounts.
The PIMCO Interest Income Fund is a separately managed stable value fund. It is available in our Target Enrollment Date, Static and Customized investment options. This fund focuses on preserving principal and providing liquidity while generating steady returns. It was introduced into my529’s investment portfolio in August 2018. As of the end of Q3 2024, about 5% of my529’s total AUM is invested in the PIMCO Interest Income Fund.
While the PIMCO fund has been a more recent addition, FDIC-Insured has been in our portfolio since 2009. The FDIC-Insured accounts are held in trust by my529 at Sallie Mae Bank (90%) and U.S. Bank (10%). Contributions in these accounts are protected by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on a pass-through basis to each account owner at each bank up to the maximum amount set by federal law, which is $250,000. As of the end of Q3 2024, about 9% of my529’s total AUM is invested in FDIC-Insured.
A fund fact sheet and prospectus about the PIMCO and FDIC-Insured funds are available on our website.
