HealthSavings Administrators Announces the Launch of Its Health Savings Accounts Featuring MFS Funds
Richmond, VA (PRWEB) August 01, 2016 -- HealthSavings Administrators, among the top 1% of the nation’s health savings account (HSA) investment companies in accounts and assets, proudly announces the launch of its HSA featuring mutual funds from MFS Investment Management®.
This new HSA offers 22 MFS® funds, including eight MFS Lifetime® target date funds. Participants can invest immediately in these funds when they open an account due to HealthSavings’ first dollar investment program, which enables accountholders to save efficiently for both current and future healthcare expenses without large minimum balance requirements.
HealthSavings’ emphasis is on helping individuals build assets for future eligible medical expenses, which
means its HSA becomes part of accountholders’ medical planning and retirement planning strategy.
“HSAs are an integral part of a comprehensive retirement planning strategy,” said Pat Jarrett, President of HealthSavings. “MFS’ outcome-oriented funds perfectly complement our retirement-focused, investment HSA program.”
MFS is a leading innovator in the investment management industry, tracing its roots to 1924 and the creation of the first open-end mutual fund in the U.S. MFS also created one of the first in-house research departments in the mutual fund industry in 1932 and launched both the industry's first high-yield municipal bond fund and the first global balanced fund. More recently, MFS has created "outcome-oriented" products, such as its line of target-risk, target-date and other multi-asset and asset allocation strategies.
“At MFS, a consistent long term discipline drives the way we think and the way we invest,” said Jim Jessee, President of MFS Fund Distributors, Inc., and co-Head of Global Distribution. “We believe MFS funds are a great fit for HealthSavings’ platform, given both firms' long term focus."
HSAs are much like individual retirement accounts, but the funds are reserved for eligible healthcare expenses. The money is deposited tax free or tax deductible, and the funds remain tax free when used to pay or reimburse for eligible medical expenses. Learn more at HealthSavings.com.
