h1 The Connecticut Higher Education Trust 529 College Savings Program


Sponsored by the Connecticut Office of the Treasurer and managed by Fidelity, this 529 plan is open to both residents and nonresidents.

What are your investment choices

The CHET 529 plan offers a range of investment options. Let us help you choose an option that makes sense for your situation. Different investors have their own goals, risk-tolerance levels, and time horizons. A Fidelity managed 529 plan gives you multiple types of investment options to choose from. As a Connecticut resident, be sure to consider the state tax advantages and additional program benefits of a CHET 529 plan. The following questions will help you decide the option that works best for you:

Per IRS rules, you can change current investments twice in a calendar year, and when you change the beneficiary. You can change the investment instructions for future deposits at any time.

How do you want your 529 investments managed

br Age-Based

If you want a professionally managed portfolio that automatically adjusts the asset allocation based on your beneficiary's age—potentially lowering your investment risk the closer college gets—then an Age-Based portfolio might be right for you.

br Customized

Do you prefer to choose your own mix of professionally managed portfolios that align to your risk tolerance or preferred investment exposure? Then selecting from Static or Individual Fund portfolios, which let you customize your investments, might be right for you.

When was the child born

Age-Based Portfolios are mapped to a beneficiary's year of birth and the approximate year the beneficiary is anticipated to start college. Each portfolio is managed with the asset allocation automatically becoming more conservative as the beneficiary nears college age. Select your beneficiary's birth year below to learn more about your Age-Based portfolio investment options.


What is your investment style


While each age-based portfolio has the same investment objective: capital appreciation with reasonable safety of principle, each portfolio option offers you a choice of 3 investment strategies. Do you prefer more actively managed funds that attempt to beat benchmark market indices over the long term? Or perhaps you prefer low-cost index funds that closely mirror the performance of a composite of major market indices? Your third option: A combination of the two.

Fidelity Funds
Uses primarily actively-managed Fidelity mutual funds that attempt to beat benchmark indices
Fidelity Blend Funds

Fidelity Index Funds
