the tax-deferral and low cost, high-quality investments are still a great benefit. especially if someone has 10+ years until say, freshman year. I look at it as a way to save for 4 years of high school, rather than all of private school. To your point about tax-loss harvesting, I'd be curious to see the benefit of tax-loss harvesting versus tax-deferral over time.

Fair point. Where I was going is the ability to take tax losses on NQ funds - while not completely outpacing the tax free gains - greatly reduces how much it beats it by. It takes away the "no brainer" part for me that the regular START program is.

In a perfect world, you'd do an apples to apples comparison with similar funds - which are indexes and have very low turnover and essentially tax deferral until the capital gains at the end...
