Financial markets experience cycles of ups and downs. These short-term fluctuations tend to smooth out over the long term. If you are investing over a long time period, such as saving for a child’s future education in a 529 plan, you can expect to go through multiple market cycles. It’s natural to become nervous about your investment strategy during these periods of volatility. However, it’s important to stay focused on your future goals to consider the long-term impacts of emotionally driven investment decisions. Visit our Learning Center for more information including articles on the wide-ranging benefits of a 529 plan and information on investment options.
