Fees and Expenses
my529 fees are some of the lowest in the 529 industry.
my529’s Asset-Based Fee structure has two parts:
- The Underlying Fund Expenses of the underlying investments.
- The my529 Administrative Asset Fee, which pays for operating expenses.
Together these make up the total annual Asset-Based Fee for your my529 account.
