WHAT’S AHEAD
Among other trends predicted in FRC’s 529 plan research report:
- New 529 plan providers will enter the business as smaller vendors exit because of high costs and lack of scale.
- Multi-manager programs and multi-program networks will continue to expand as state agencies and private vendors seek to increase choices for investors.
- Vendors and states that sponsor plans will disclose increasing amounts of information about their plans, including fees and expenses.
- There will be a push to simplify the tax treatment of contributions and withdrawals.
- State tax legislation restricting choice between programs will be eliminated.
