[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm convinced the VA 529 managers should be changed. I don't know what they're investing in, but they don't make any money at all ever[/quote]

Mine have made plenty of money, although I'm sure some of the gains have been given back over the week. You can't blame VA 529 for your asset allocation. They are very clear as to what they're invested in and their fees for all the investment options.[/quote]

With AmericanFunds VA529 you can pick your own investments (from over 10 options).  Never use a "timeline fund".  However, you are correct with your kid needing the money starting next fall, you want at least 50-75% in a MM/fund that wont loose $.

-1 on American Funds if they still have a sales charge. The direct sold VA529 has lowe fees and at least 25 investment options. Yes, many are target date funds or blends of stocks and bonds, but they also have bonds alone, real estate, etc. and even a few actively managed options and some kind of socially conscious one.[/quote]
