The J.P. Morgan advantage
All 529 college savings plans are designed to help you save for college, but not all plans are created equal.

The Advisor-Guided Plan is the only college savings plan that offers your clients both the investment expertise of J.P. Morgan and its Multi-Asset Solutions as well as the unique tax benefits offered by a 529 college savings plan.
Educate your clients about the importance of college savings
Take this opportunity to educate your clients about the costs of a college education, the importance of tax-advantaged savings and how New York's 529 Advisor-Guided College Savings Program can help them save for the future costs of higher education.
