For Immediate Release
AB Announces Transition of Rhode Island’s 529 College
Savings Program
New York, NY – November 17th, 2015 – AllianceBernstein L.P. (“AB”), a leading global investment management firm, today announced that the program management of Rhode Island’s 529 college savings plan, CollegeBoundfund®, will transition to a new manager as of July 1, 2016, pending the approval of Rhode Island’s State Investment Commission (SIC) and the SIC’s negotiation of a contract with its selected provider.
AB has worked in partnership with the State of Rhode Island for more than 15 years to provide a quality 529 college savings program and award-winning servicing platform to support the needs of a wide range of investors across the nation and the tens of thousands of advisors who assist them.

Over the past 15 years, we have been fortunate to play an integral role in enabling almost 200,000 beneficiaries nationwide to utilize nearly $5 billion for college expenses. We appreciate the opportunity we were given to support so many families in their important pursuit of higher education.”
