Financial markets move in cycles, with periods of ups and downs, but those movements tend to balance out over time. If you are saving for a long term goal, such as a child’s future education in a 529 plan, you should expect to go through multiple market cycles along the way. While these periods can feel uncomfortable, staying focused on long term goals helps avoid the lasting impact of short-term reactions to market swings. The Board, with the assistance of its professional advisors, monitors all funds for performance against long-term expectations across various asset classes. As a matter of policy and prudent investment practices, the Board makes changes based upon a fund's long-term performance relative to set benchmarks for its asset class.
