Should I create separate accounts for each child in my 529 plan?

You may want separate 529 plan accounts for each child. Each 529 plan account can have only one beneficiary. Many investors who are saving for college choose to take advantage of age-based portfolio strategies for their accounts, which allocates the investments in the account based on the age of the child. For this reason, you may want separate accounts for children of different ages.
