The Start Health HSA Investment Guide
While 401(k)s and IRAs offer tax-free contributions and growth, they lack tax-free distributions. Roth IRAs provide tax-free growth and withdrawals but not tax-free contributions. Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) offer tax benefits for medical expenses but are employer-owned and subject to a “use-it-or-lose-it” rule. HSAs stand out because they provide tax-free contributions, growth, and withdrawals, are fully owned by you, and roll over every year with no expiration. Plus, HSAs can be invested to accelerate growth. Start Health even offers in-house investment resources to help members prepare for the future.
