Money Management Executive this week has released a comprehensive, unique set of 529 data to help mutual fund companies, financial advisers and their clients more accurately plan college savings in both the short- and long-term.
Using exclusive data compiled by 1693 Analytics of Williamsburg, Va., the MME State Tuition Index and Datasheet reports are the first definitive public college tuition data indexes and absolute return benchmarks. Each report weights the college and university tuition and fee averages depending on the institution's size. They are the first installment in MME's 529 Risk-Adjusted Performance (RAP) Report series.
Tuition, room and board, and offsetting financial aid/tuition grants data has been broken down and is available for all 50 states.
More importantly, the proprietarily developed database analyzes changes in tuition, both at the state and national level, since 1990 to project a minimally acceptable return (MAR) that a 529 investor would need to meet future college costs.
Also included is data showing the upside risk and downside potential of each state's tuition costs rising at a rate greater than, or less than the national average, respectively.
