Each investment option consists of one or more underlying funds.

The underlying investments are managed by The Vanguard Group and Dimensional Fund Advisors, Pacific Investment Management Company (PIMCO), or are held in trust by my529 at Sallie Mae Bank and U.S. Bank.

Account owners do not own the underlying investments that constitute any my529 investment option.

Read the Program Description for more information.

Underlying Fund Expenses

Vanguard and Dimensional charge an Underlying Fund Expense for each underlying mutual fund. Fund expenses do not appear on my529 account statements because Vanguard and Dimensional deduct the fees from the applicable underlying funds (and because your client does not own shares in the funds). The performance and market values of a my529 account are net of any Underlying Fund Expenses.

The Underlying Fund Expenses in the tables below apply to the Vanguard and Dimensional funds included as underlying investments in my529.
