Public offering price (POP) shows the performance of the portfolio including any sales charges. Net asset value (NAV) shows the performance of the portfolio excluding any sales charges.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return, principal value, and yields of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance shown without sales charges would be lower if sales charges were reflected. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

For Class A shares, the maximum sales charge is 5.75% for the growth and balanced Portfolios, and 4.50% for the fixed income and conservative Portfolios. Effective 12/1/2009 the 2.00% sales charge for Class A shares of the Money Market Portfolio has been eliminated.

*Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized and do not include the effect of sales charges.

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.
