To the Honorable, the Assembly:
Attached to this letter is the EdVest College Savings Program Annual Report for the 2002-2003 Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2003. Legislation for the EdVest program requires the Office of the State Treasurer to annually report to the Governor and the Legislature on the program. This sixth annual report includes summaries of the required actuarial valuation, prepared by Milliman USA and a program audit prepared by PriceWaterhouseCoopers, LLP as well as discussion of the key developments in the program over the past fiscal year.
The program experienced continued significant growth and success in FY03. As of June 30, we were meeting the college savings needs of nearly 156,000 families nationwide with over $865 million in assets under management.
Unfortunately, the most significant event of the year for the program was discovered after the close of the fiscal year, when New York Attorney General Elliot Spitzer announced a widespread investigation into trading practices in the mutual fund industry, including Strong Funds. As you know, Strong serves as manager for the EdVest program. We will report on the developments of this issue in next year's annual report.
The College Savings Program Board, EdVest staff and I look forward to continued growth with quality service to participants in this exciting program. If you have any questions regarding the EdVest Annual Report, please contact Marty Olle at 264-7886.
Sincerely,
Jack C. Voight
State Treasurer
Referred to committee on Colleges and Universities.
