Investing for minors: 529 accts canNOT hold individual stocks directly; what about ETFs?

The 529 plans with which I'm familiar only allow investments in Mutual Funds -- and only certain 529-tailored funds at that. At the other end of the spectrum, there seems to be a universal prohibition against buying individual stocks in those accounts. In between are Exchange-Traded Funds. It's not clear if I can buy any old ETF that I like inside a 529 acct, or only a curated subset of them. Need advice from those who've trodden this path before me. submitted by /u/DeeDee_Z [link] [comments]
