1Taxable Investments is an investment account offered by a brokerage. With a taxable account, you can invest in assets like stocks, bonds and mutual funds. As funds grow in value based on the market's performance, taxes may be owed each year on the investment income. Funds may be used for any purpose. Investment risk depends upon the underlying investment vehicle. Investments are neither insured nor guaranteed and there is the risk of investment loss.

As funds grow in value, based on the performance of the selected investment portfolio, taxes are tax-deferred. Withdrawals for qualified higher education expenses are tax free.
