For funds with an investment objective that include the integration of ESG criteria, there may be corporate actions or other situations that may cause the fund or index to passively hold securities that may not comply with ESG criteria. Please refer to the fund’s prospectus for more information. The screening applied by the fund's index provider may include revenue thresholds set by the index provider. The information displayed on this website may not include all of the screens that apply to the relevant index or the relevant fund. These screens are described in more detail in the fund’s prospectus, other fund documents, and the relevant index methodology document.

Important Risks: The fund is actively managed and its characteristics will vary. Holdings shown should not be deemed as a recommendation to buy or sell securities. Stock values fluctuate in price so the value of your investment can go down depending on market conditions. The fund may use derivatives to hedge its investments or to seek to enhance returns. Derivatives entail risks relating to liquidity, leverage and credit that may reduce returns and increase volatility.

Performance data reflects fees, expenses and annual asset-based fees for each underlying fund. Because the 529 Option has higher expense ratios than the underlying funds, it will have lower performance than the underlying funds. However, the underlying funds do not offer the same tax advantages as the 529 Option. Performance differences also are caused by differences in the trade dates of Portfolio purchases. When you invest money in a 529 Option, you receive Program Units as of the trade date. The trade date for the purchase of underlying fund shares typically will be one business day after the trade date for your investment.
The Russell 1000 Index measures performance of the largest 1,000 companies in the Russell 3000 Index and represents about 90% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000. Indexes assume reinvestment of distributions and interest payments and exclude fees. Securities held by the underlying funds do not match those in the indexes and 529 Option performance will differ.
