The Plan is administered by the Vermont Student Assistance Corp. (VSAC). TIAA-CREF Tuition Financing, Inc. (TFI) serves as Program Manager.

The investment approaches described are not recommendations and do not take into consideration personal goals or preferences. After evaluating information you consider important in making an investment choice, the ultimate decision is up to you. It is a good idea to revisit your investment strategy periodically as your goals, personal financial situation, and market conditions change.

Consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing in the Plan. Please call toll-free 1-800-637-5860 for a Disclosure Booklet containing this information. Read it carefully.

Before investing in a 529 plan, you should consider whether the state you or your designated beneficiary reside in or have taxable income in has a 529 plan that offers favorable state income tax or other benefits that are only available if you invest in that state's 529 plan.

The State of Vermont, its agencies, VSAC, TIAA-CREF Tuition Financing, Inc., Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America and its affiliates do not insure any Account in the Plan or guarantee its principal or investment return. Account value will fluctuate based upon a number of factors, including general market conditions.
