When considering options for education savings, it’s crucial to explore all available resources, particularly 529 plans. If your state or your designated beneficiary’s state offers a 529 plan, carefully evaluate the potential state income-tax benefits and other advantages it might provide. These could include financial aid perks, scholarship opportunities, and protection from creditors. State-specific benefits are important factors to weigh when making investment decisions about 529 plans offered through John Hancock Investments or other providers. It is advisable to consult with a financial, tax, or other qualified advisor to understand how these state benefits could apply to your individual circumstances. You can also directly contact state 529 plans or any other 529 education savings plan to get detailed information on their specific features.
For comprehensive details about investment objectives, potential risks, fees, charges, and expenses associated with 529 plans, it is essential to obtain and carefully review the Plan Disclosure Document or prospectus for any underlying funds. You can request these documents from your financial professional or by calling 866-222-7498. The Plan Disclosure Document provides crucial information about municipal fund securities and the underlying investment companies, which should be thoroughly considered before making any investment. Always read the Plan Disclosure Document carefully before investing in any 529 plan.
