Your child won't remember the toy that broke by January.

But they'll remember the time you hiked to that waterfall together. The road trip with the whole family singing off-key. In the summer they learned to swim.

Experiences are the memories that last a lifetime β€” and with UNest, you can start saving for them today, one small contribution at a time.

Okay, real talk, when I first started looking into savings options for my kid, I had 47 browser tabs open and still felt completely lost.

UTMA? 529? Just throw it in a savings account? What does any of it mean?

So here's the version I wish a friend had texted me:

A UTMA custodial account (what UNest uses) is an investment account in your child's name. You're in charge of it until they reach the age of majority in your state. The cool part? The money can go toward anything β€” college, a car, starting a business, whatever they need. Since it's an investment account, it has the potential to grow over time. It can also lose value β€” that's just how investing works, and it's worth knowing going in.

A 529 is specifically for education. It can come with some nice tax advantages for qualifying education expenses, but there are restrictions on how the money gets used.

A regular savings account is steady BUT no market risk. The trade-off is that it typically has lower growth potential over the long term.

And if you've seen people talking about the new 530A ("Trump Account").That's a new federal account type launching July 4, 2026. We're working on bringing it to UNest and will keep you posted.

None of these options is wrong. A lot of families actually use more than one depending on their goals. If you want personalized guidance, a financial professional is always going to be your best resource for figuring out what fits your family.

Not sure which investment approach is right for your child? UNest gives you 5 portfolio options to choose from:

πŸ“Š Conservative Β· Moderately Conservative Β· Moderate Β· Moderately Aggressive Β· Age-Based

The age-based portfolio is designed to gradually shift the asset mix as your child gets older β€” potentially reducing exposure to volatility as they approach adulthood.

Keep in mind: no portfolio eliminates risk, and all investing involves the possibility of loss. UNest does not provide personalized investment advice.
