UA College Savings Plan Reduces Fees
For Immediate Release
Monday, June 28, 2010
The University of ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ College Savings Plan today announced a significant reduction
in fees.
Effective July 1, 2010, the program fee will be cut by nearly one-third, to 0.20 percent.
In addition, the annual account fee will be reduced by $5, to $20.
These reductions represent the UA College Savings Plan's continuing long-term commitment
to help ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ families save for college. By reducing the plan's costs, account holders
will have more money invested toward their college savings goals.
"We want to make it as easy as possible for ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ families to save for college and
we're dedicated to offering strong, professionally-managed investment options at a
low-cost," said Linda English, executive director of UA College Savings Plan.
While the annual account fee has been reduced to $20, the fee is waived altogether
for customers who:
- Invest regularly with payroll deductions or automatic monthly contributions, or;
- Have $25,000 or more invested for one child, or;
- Have a total of $75,000 or more invested for multiple children.
Additionally, account holders in the ACT Portfolio, which allows participants to purchase
tuition now for use in the future, do not pay an annual account or program fee.
