Opening and Managing an Investment Account
Invest the money you contribute to your medical savings account
This page provides an overview of the different types of investment accounts that you can open using your health spending account funds.
Any investment comes with risk and may involve the loss of principal.
There are two types of investment accounts that are available to members.
Basic Investment Account
The Basic Investment Account is available to members who hold a VEBA account or an HSA.
At least $1,000 must be kept in the base balance of the HSA account. Any money in the account over the $1,000 mark can be invested.
You have the option to invest your money in a pre-selected suite of over 30 mutual funds. You choose which fund or funds to invest in. The funds are traded through the Schwab mutual fund platform.
See Opening and Managing a Basic Investment Account for more information.
