Your portfolio contributions are tracked and reported to you in both their monetary and corresponding UA tuition credit values. With this guarantee, you do not need to face the uncertainty of predicting future UA tuition, and it ensures that your child’s tuition costs will be covered regardless of future tuition increases.

**The guarantee ensures that your earnings will match or surpass the rate of tuition increases at UA. The guarantee begins July 1 following the date of your contribution and applies to distributions used to pay tuition at the University of Alaska. Remember that while the University of Alaska Portfolio guarantees that your earnings will keep pace with tuition increases at UA when used to pay for tuition at UA, it does not guarantee the value of your account if you use the money elsewhere or for another purpose besides tuition. Investment results are based on market performance. If used for education expenses elsewhere, the full market value of the University of Alaska Portfolio account is available.
