* Expense ratios are as of the plan’s most recent Program Description and Participation Agreement. Performance may reflect waivers or reimbursements of fund expenses by the advisor or its affiliates. Absent these waivers, or reimbursement arrangements, performance results may be lower. View a list of portfolios for which the investment advisor or its affiliates has agreed to reimburse or waive a portion of the fund expenses. Unless a specific end date is provided, the waiver or reimbursement may be revised or discontinued at any time.

An investment in the Columbia 529 Plan is not guaranteed or insured in any way by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC, any of its affiliates, the Program Manager, the State of Nevada or any of its instrumentalities, the federal government, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or any other entity.
