Invest 529 Investment Options and Performance

2039 Portfolio

The 2039 Portfolio is the suggested Target Enrollment Portfolio for Beneficiaries between the ages of 4 - 6.

Current target asset allocation as of 10/1/2024: 75.00% Equity / 25.00% Fixed Income

Investment Strategy

The 2039 Portfolio’s current target asset allocation as of 10/1/2024 is 75.00% equities and 25.00% fixed income. This mix will increasingly shift towards fixed income investments as beneficiaries of the Portfolio age. Asset allocation shifts occur progressively resulting in a 100% fixed income allocation after the evolution corresponding to suggested beneficiary ages of eighteen and above. The 100% fixed income allocation will be maintained for the following two years during which the Portfolio will be closed to new investors. After this two year period, the Portfolio will shift to a 100% stable value asset allocation and remain in existence for three years, after which it will permanently close with remaining assets transferred to the Stable Value Portfolio (100% Stable Value).

Investment Objective

Although the asset allocation of each Target Enrollment Portfolio is designed to correspond with the Beneficiary’s current age, Account Owners may choose to invest in a Portfolio other than the one that corresponds to the Beneficiary’s current age. No Invest529 Portfolios, however, are protected from market volatility and there is no guarantee that Invest529 Portfolios will not lose value, including principal.

Investment Risks

The 2039 Portfolio is predominantly subject to risks associated with equity investments, and to a lesser degree subject to risks associated with fixed income investments. For a complete description of the investment risks associated with this portfolio, and a complete list of information on investment options, managers, and asset classes associated with the underlying investments of the 2039 Portfolio, please see the Invest529 Program Description.
