What happens if my 529 investment drops below what I invested?

investment



A few years ago I started investing in a 529 plan when my child was born. It was steadily growing. With the recent market, the investment says it’s -25% of it’s original contribution. What would happen if the stock market keeps going down to the point that it went past 100%? Does that mean it is permitted to go back up again when the market recovers or does that mean all the investment is lost. Thanks.

    Investment is never lost unless you are in well diversified mutual fund then it you still will always have the same amount of.
    The same amount of shares that you sell it you puchased no matter what if you still will always have the same amount of shares that you still will always have the same amount of shares that you sell it is.
