529 Educational Savings Plan Provides Veterans Flexibility for Their Children
We know that investing in the Roth TSP is the best option for most active-duty servicemen. But, how can Veterans get ahead for our children? The SECURE 2.0 Act, passed by Congress in 2022, may provide the flexibility through 529 Educational Savings Plans to best prepare for the expense of children’s education while providing the possibility of a Roth IRA rollover for beneficiaries.
Beginning in 2024, 529 participants will be able to convert tax- and penalty-free up to a lifetime limit of $35,000 in a 529 to a Roth IRA owned by the 529 beneficiary for at least 15 years. The contributions are subject to annual Roth IRA contribution limits for the beneficiary.
SECURE 2.0 Act provided drastic changes to the existing American retirement system. Talk to a financial professional to see how you can maximize your retirement planning by taking advantage of the SECURE 2.0 Act.

Rockport’s VIP Market Analysis:
June turned out to be another very good month for the markets with the S&P 500 index increasing 3.92% and an increase now of 15.91% for the year. The big winner for the year thus far has been the NASDAQ composite index which is up a stunning 31.73%. This particular index is loaded with high-growth technology companies that have benefited from the Hype in AI (Artificial Intelligence). The divergence we mentioned in the last newsletter about a small handful of stocks driving the returns in the indexes did improve a little bit as the S&P 500 equal weight index is now up 5.94% year to date. Still a long way to go to close this gap though.
