The Illinois Achieving a Better Life Experience (“IL ABLE”) plan is sponsored by the State of Illinois and administered by the Office of the Illinois State Treasurer (“Treasurer”). IL ABLE is designed to be a qualified ABLE plan offered as part of the National ABLE Alliance. Ascensus College Savings Recordkeeping Services, LLC, the Program Manager, and its affiliates, have overall responsibility for the day-to-day operations, including investment advisory, recordkeeping, and administrative services for the IL ABLE plan.

Accounts in the IL ABLE plan are not guaranteed or insured by the State of Illinois, the Treasurer, the Trust, IL ABLE, the Program Manager, or any other entity (except as provided in the Plan Disclosure Booklet solely with respect to the FDIC-insured Checking Account Option). An Account Owner could lose money by investing in the IL ABLE plan. The Checking Account Option offers FDIC insurance up to $250,000, subject to certain restrictions. Interests in IL ABLE are municipal securities and the value of the account will vary with market conditions and the performance of the investment options you choose.

An investor should consider investment objectives, as well as the risks, charges, and expenses associated with an investment in the IL ABLE plan before investing. This and other important information are contained in the Plan Disclosure Booklet, which can be obtained at http://illinoisable.com or by calling (888) 609-8683.  You should carefully read the Plan Disclosure Booklet before investing.

Account Owners assume all investment risks as well as responsibility for any federal and state tax consequences. Participation in the IL ABLE plan does not guarantee that contributions and the investment return on contributions, if any, will be adequate to cover Qualified Disability Expenses or that an Account Owner is eligible to participate in the IL ABLE plan.

Before investing in any ABLE plan, you should consider whether the state in which you reside and/or pay taxes offers an ABLE plan with favorable state tax incentives or other benefits that are only available through investment in that state’s ABLE plan. You also should consult your financial, tax, or other adviser to learn more about how state-based benefits, or any limitations, would apply to your specific circumstances.

This material is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.

Testimonials may not be representative of the experience of other customers as past performance or success is not a guarantee of future performance or success.

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this material have the meaning attributed to them in the Plan Disclosure Booklet.

Information subject to change without prior notice.

Investments are not FDIC-Insured (except for the Checking Account Option). No Bank, State, or Federal Guarantee.  May Lose Value.
