Developing investment lineups to meet
specific plan needs

If a state needs a new investment lineup, an annual review, a performance update, or other advisory services, Upromise Investment Advisors, LLC, (UIA) is ready to help. As an investment advisor registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), UIA works with leading investment managers to develop customized investment lineups tailored to each 529 plan program.

Following an in-depth analysis of potential managers and investment options, UIA's Investment Services Department develops a proposal, balancing fees and performance, and works with the state to develop an investment lineup.

UIA has provided investment advisory services to state clients since 2002, and has created investment strategies and asset allocation portfolios that are specifically designed for college savers of all levels. UIA works closely with state partners to help determine which investment options will meet their plans' needs. Our platform's open architecture allows the flexibility to partner with multiple leading investment managers. This lets us create a range of options that can be tailored to the plan's objectives and channels. We also work closely with states on the creation of investment policies and guidelines, investment-related reporting, and periodic investment reviews.
