“College savers have entrusted more than $2 billion to the Vanguard 529 College Savings Plan since its introduction in December 2002, making it one of the largest 529 plans in the country,” said Vanguard CEO John J. Brennan. “This considerable growth drives economies of scale, and we are pleased to share these savings with plan participants in the form of lower expenses.”
This is the third time in two years that Vanguard has lowered fees on its 529 offerings.
