Performance data shown represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and the value of the investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. For more current performance information to the most recent month-ended, please call (866) 574-3542 or see below.

Investments in SMART529 are subject to various fees, which will then reduce the value of your account as they are incurred. Performance numbers do not include the annual maintenance fees. The annual maintenance fee is waived for account values of $25,000 or more, if enrolled in an Automatic Investment Program or for West Virginia residents. For more information about fees and expenses, please see the Offering Statement. Performance information may reflect historical or current expense waivers or reimbursements of the underlying fund(s), without which, performance would have been lower. For more information on fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, please see the expenses table in the underlying fund(s)’ prospectus.

Class A Units have an up-front sales charge of up to 2.50% for all Investment Options except for the SMART529 Stable Value Fund which is up to 2.00%. Class C Units have a maximum deferred sales charge of up to 1.00%. Class C Units convert to Class A Units after four years. Class E Units have neither an up-front sales charge nor a deferred sales charge.

Performance returns “At NAV” and “With Sales Charge” are shown by clicking on the applicable button below. When you select “With Sales Charge,” returns reflect the deduction of the maximum sales charge for the selected share class as published in the most recent Offering Statement. Sales charges are not reflected in the returns for “At NAV,” and “YTD” returns. Sales charges are also not reflected in the returns of 529 portfolios with less than a full calendar year of performance. If sales charges were included, the performance would have been lower.
