An investment in the Wells Fargo Money Market Portfolio or the Bank/Credit Union CD Portfolios is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, NCUA or any other government agency. Although these Portfolios seek to preserve the value of your investment at $10.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these Portfolios. CD Portfolio account owners do not have an ownership interest or any other rights as an owner of CDs in which the CD Portfolios invest.
EdVest portfolios may invest in stock and bond investments. Stock investment values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Bond investment values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond investment values fall and investors may lose principal value. Consult a program description for additional information on these and other risks. There is no guarantee that an account will grow enough to cover higher education expenses.
