Waddell & Reed
Waddell & Reed offers an advisor-sold plan with
investment options that include actively managed mutual fund portfolios
such as Age-Based Portfolios, Static Portfolios and Individual Fund
Portfolios.
|
The Age-Based Portfolios is an actively
managed "fund of funds" diversified among three portfolios,
Growth, Balanced, and Conservative, and is based on a beneficiary's
college time horizon and seeks the appropriate level of investment
risk for that time horizon. |
| |
|
|
The Static Portfolio option offers the three actively
managed Age-Based Portfolios while allowing the investor to stay
in the portfolio with the chosen risk horizon, whether it is growth,
balanced or conservative, without automatically transferring to
the next Age-Based Portfolio. |
| |
|
The Individual Fund Portfolio is an individual
mutual fund from the Ivy Funds family. Investors may select among
17 individual mutual funds from the Ivy Funds family, including
domestic and international equity funds, specialty funds, and
fixed-income funds. |
