Shape your savings approach


When it comes to saving for future education needs, every family is different. That's why Alaska 529 offers three investment approaches incorporated into 15 different portfolios to suit your specific situation and savings goals. Enrollment-based portfolios start out aggressive and automatically become more conservative as the target date is approached, static portfolios maintain fixed allocations, and the University of Alaska (UA) portfolio which offers a tuition value guarantee when used to pay tuition at UA.
