Morningstar's Top 529 College Saving Plans

Morningstar Names Best 529 College-Savings Plans shares the top six plans (out of 58) based on investment options and expenses.  The six plans earning Top Analyst Ratings are:

  • T. Rowe Price College Saving Plan
  • Maryland College Investment Plan
  • College 529 Savings Plan
  • The Vanguard 529 College Savings Plan
  • Utah Educational Savings Plan
  • CollegeAmerica

While the investment returns have been hurt by the Great Recession, the total college savings is still about 5-10% above the principal we contributed.   However, since our daughter is only seven, hopefully, there is time for accounts to recover by the time she enters college.
