Guaranteed Investment Option

Consider this if: You have a short investment horizon or you’re looking to preserve your funds.

Maybe you’ve been saving for a while and your account has been steadily growing—but the college years are just around the corner. You’re happy with what you’ve got, and you don’t want any surprises. It’s no longer about getting big returns; it’s about preserving your funds. Perhaps you just want a stable rate of return as you prepare for the eventual costs of higher education.

How the Guaranteed Investment Option works

This investment option seeks to preserve capital and provide a stable return. You may want to consider it if you have a short investment horizon and are looking for a conservative investment with a low-level risk.

Things to consider

Changing your investments

Once you invest in a particular Portfolio, you can transfer contributions and any earnings to another Portfolio up to twice per calendar year or upon a transfer of funds to a WA529 Invest account for a different beneficiary.

Periodically reviewing your investments

It’s a good idea to periodically reevaluate your investment strategy as your goals, investment horizon and personal situation change—for example, annually at tax time, on a yearly basis if your income changes or upon the birth of another child.
