Statement on Financial Markets – April 2025

As you may be aware, the financial markets have experienced significant volatility in recent days. Please remember that you should periodically assess and – only if appropriate – adjust your PA ABLE Savings Program investment choices, keeping in mind the following factors:

  • Time horizon - the length of time you can invest before you need to use your funds.
  • Risk tolerance - how much potential for loss you can bear.
  • Investment objectives - what are you saving for? In this case, disability-related expenses.

In light of this current volatility, it is especially important to consider your time horizon and long-term investment objectives. If you feel you need advice on how to navigate these uncertain times, you should consult an investment or financial advisor.

A Pennsylvania employer tax credit is available for employers who match contributions to employees' ABLE accounts.
