New Hampshire 529 College Savings Plan

New Hampshire 529 -UNIQUE College Investing Plan

The State of New Hampshire offers two 529 College Savings Plans, the UNIQUE College Investing Plan and the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan, which are administered, by Fidelity Investments with fiduciary oversight provided by the College Tuition Savings Plan Advisory Commission.

The primary difference between the two Plans is that the Fidelity Advisor 529 Plan is marketed to the clients of non-Fidelity financial advisors that do not administer their own proprietary plan, while the UNIQUE Plan is offered directly to Fidelity retail investors.
