The PA 529 College and Career Savings Program is celebrating those who save for education with big awards!

Statement on Financial Markets

As you may be aware, the financial markets have experienced significant volatility recently. Please remember that you should periodically assess and – only if appropriate – adjust your PA 529 Investment Plan investment choices, keeping in mind the following factors:

  • Time horizon - the length of time you can invest before you need to use your funds.
  • Risk tolerance - how much potential for loss you can bear.
  • Investment objectives - what are you saving for? In this case, higher education.

In light of this current volatility, it is especially important to consider your time horizon and long-term investment objectives. If you feel you need advice on how to navigate these uncertain times, you should consult an investment or financial advisor.
