Members with Schwab Self-Directed Brokerage Account
Also on May 01, 2019, the Schwab Self-directed Brokerage account, an online investment account Further offers through Charles Schwab & Company, will be reclassified from the existing Personal Choice Retirement account (PCRA) to the new Health Savings Brokerage Account (HSBA). The reclassification will have no impact on account number, login credentials, or online experience. Each accountholder will receive notice from Schwab about changes to the cash feature program for their Health Savings Brokerage Account.
With reclassification to the Health Savings Brokerage Account® (HSBA), retail investors are unable to purchase shares or add to current positions of institutional share classes of mutual funds. For reference, we have included a list of the institutional share class funds that are no longer available for purchase, as well as the alternate share classes that are available to HSBA account holders. Please review the following investment lineup to determine if action is required. If you have institutional shares and would like to make any changes to your investment options to select a new retail share class, please contact the HSBA Call Center between 9am and 7:30pm ET Monday through Friday at 1-800-472-0084 or visit Schwab.com.
