Your investment strategy should match your college savings goals. BlackRock CollegeAdvantage offers three distinct investment approaches, allowing you to choose the option(s) that best fits your needs.
Target date
Target date options put the expertise of BlackRock to work for you. These options automatically reallocate to become more conservative as the anticipated college enrollment date grows closer. Choose between the following options based on your student’s age and your risk preference.
BlackRock College 2041
BlackRock College 2038
BlackRock College 2035
BlackRock College 2032
BlackRock College 2027

Target risk
Target risk options are designed to have relatively constant exposure to equity, fixed income and money market securities throughout the life of the account, rather than adjusting over time. Choose the portfolio that matches your current risk tolerance. Your assets remain focused on that risk level unless you choose to move them into another portfolio.
Single strategy
Pick from a menu of single strategy investment options to build a customized portfolio. Choose one or many to tailor the mix as you see fit, knowing you can make adjustments over time. In general, the risk level increases as you move from money markets to fixed income to balanced to equity options, but since that is not always the case, it’s important to align with your personal goals and risk tolerance.
