Is my money safe?

Funds in an HSA are held in a trust and are administered by a bank, insurance company, or other approved Trustee.

Funds in your HSA are invested at your discretion. Typically an HSA will allow you to choose from the following options:
•  Interest-bearing account
•  CDs
•  Money market funds
•  Mutual funds

If you are looking to minimize your investment risk, you may want to consider an interest-bearing account; these accounts are FDIC insured. On the other end of the spectrum, mutual funds may provide a greater return, but are more risky, and are not FDIC insured.

The information above is provided for general purposes only and is not tax advice. eHealthInsurance urges you to consult with your accountant or tax advisor before opening a health savings account to determine if it is appropriate specifically for you.
