Kansas Reflector Podcast · Kansas updates 529 education plan investment options, changes plan manager · 2 Feb 2026 podcast

We'll be talking today about changes to the state's 529 plans, which are those terrific investment plans that allow parents, grandparents, other people who love kids to save money for a child's college education. matched

These plans are used by more than 228,000 families and have $14.5 billion in assets under management. matched

Welcome to the Reflector Podcast, Mr. matched

Johnson. matched

Thanks for being here. matched

Well, I appreciate you taking the time out. matched

Um maybe we can get started by just explaining to folks exactly what the 529 plans are and what those encompass. matched

And education has certainly gotten a little bit more expensive these days. matched

I'm old enough when I remember you could work a second job and pay your way through, and that is definitely not the case now. matched

So I did give throw out some numbers there in terms of participation, but do we get pretty good participation in Kansas on these plans? matched

Okay, well that makes a lot of sense. matched

Is it something that I always wonder if people are hesitant because of the investment side of it? matched

Sometimes I know as a longtime business reporter, investments can be really confusing. matched

Is this something that just anyone can get online and sign up basically and get going? matched

Oh, that's really interesting that you can do that now. matched

And so you recently changed the plan manager, is that right? matched

Can you tell me a little bit about that process and why and who we've selected? matched

Mm-hmm. matched

When you first started talking about this, I noticed that you used the term best in class and and one of the lowest cost five twenty-nine programs in the country. matched
