IAdvisor 529 Plan Imagine. Educate. Achieve. Program Description and Participation Agreement April 1, 2019 Michael L. Fitzgerald Iowa State Treasurer Dear College Saver, Effective Friday, March 29, 2019, IAdvisor’s investment options will be undergoing changes. These changes pertain both to the line- up of available investment options in the plan, as well as the underlying investments in the Age- and Risk-Based Options. The Plan will be merging assets invested in the IAdvisor 529 Ultra-Conservative Option into the IAdvisor 529 Age 18+ Option. Like the IAdvisor 529 Ultra-Conservative Option, the IAdvisor 529 Age 18+ Option is “static” and will not automatically migrate to a new investment based on the beneficiary’s age. These investments are merging due to similarities in investment objectives and risk profiles. Differences between these Options include a slight decrease in exposure to stocks in the IAdvisor Age 18+ Option as well as other changes to the underlying investments. The Plan will also be merging assets invested in the VY® Clarion Global Real Estate Option into the Voya Multi-Manager Mid Cap Value Option. This change is being made in conjunction with a removal of the same underlying VY® Clarion Global Real Estate investment from the Age- and Risk-Based Options. Exposure to the Global Real Estate asset class is still available in the Plan through certain Age- and Risk-Based Options that invest in the Brookfield Global Real Estate Fund. Along with the two investment option mergers mentioned above, certain underlying funds in the Age- and Risk-Based Options will be added or removed and allocations to the underlying funds will be adjusted. Additional detail on these changes can be found in the IAdvisor 529 Program Description dated April 1, 2019 as well as on the www.IAdvisor529.com website after the changes have gone into effect. Assets invested in the Options that are being eliminated as of the close of business on Friday, March 29 will be migrated to the new Options specified. This change will be reflected in accounts as of the next business day, Monday April 1, 2019. Initial investments into the Options being closed will be restricted prior to March 29, 2019. You do not need to take any action. These changes are automatic and will not count against your twice-per-calendar-year investment exchange restriction on existing account assets. If you are currently invested in either the IAdvisor 529 Ultra-Conservative Option or the VY® Clarion Global Real Estate Option and if you do not wish to be automatically migrated to the new investment options indicated, investment change requests must be received prior to the date of the merger. Please note, choosing to pro- actively change your investments will count against your twice-per-calendar-year investment change restriction. A revised Program Description reflecting these changes will be provided to all Account Owners in March 2019. If you have any questions, please call 800-774-5127 on business days between 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Central time. Thank you for investing with IAdvisor.

Such Accounts are not intended for use, and should not be used, by any taxpayer for the purpose of evading federal or state taxes or tax penalties. The tax information contained in this Program Description was written to support the promotion and marketing of the IAdvisor 529 Plan and was neither written nor intended to be used, and cannot be used, by any taxpayer for the purpose of evading federal or state taxes or avoiding tax penalties. Taxpayers should consult with a qualified advisor to seek tax advice based on their own particular circumstances. If you are not an Iowa taxpayer, consider before investing whether your home state or the Beneficiary’s home state offers a 529 plan that provides its taxpayers with favorable state tax or other state benefits such as financial aid, scholarship funds, and protection from creditors that may only be available through investment in the home state’s 529 plan, and which are not available through investment in the IAdvisor 529 Plan. This Program Description contains limited information about the state tax consequences of investing in the IAdvisor 529 Plan. Therefore, please consult your financial, tax, or other advisor to learn more about how state based benefits (or any limitations) would apply to your specific circumstances. Prospective Account Owners should consider many factors before deciding to contribute to a 529 plan such as the IAdvisor 529 Plan, including the 529 plan’s investment options and their performance histories, the 529 plan’s flexibility and features, the reputation and expertise of the 529 plan’s investment manager(s), the 529 plan’s maximum contribution limit, the 529 plan’s fees and expenses, and federal and state and/or local tax benefits associated with an investment in the 529 plan. Participation in the IAdvisor 529 Plan does not guarantee that contributions and the investment return on contributions, if any, will be adequate to cover future education expenses or that the Beneficiary will be admitted or permitted to continue to attend a particular educational institution.
