The Investment Provider Xchange™ (IPX) Announces Launch of First-Ever HSA Featuring Dimensional Funds

Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) February 01, 2016 -- The Investment Provider Xchange™ (IPX), a platform offering the collective services of the Financial Processing Solutions (FPS) Group and its affiliates, today announced the launch of the first-ever health savings account (HSA) featuring investment funds managed by Dimensional Fund Advisors LP, a global investment firm headquartered in Austin, Texas.

The Dimensional HSA is made available on IPX through HealthSavings Administrators, the first company to implement an HSA on the IPX platform.

The platform can be customized for any investment provider who wants to attract HSA investors or financial advisors who want a turnkey HSA solution for their clients.

Through IPX, Dimensional Fund Advisors enjoys one, single sign-on platform that enables individuals to open HSAs, self-direct investments and order debit card(s) while providing online access to trading, rebalancing, statements and educational materials.

Late last year, Dimensional Fund Advisors began enrolling employees on the IPX platform with access to 22 Dimensional funds, including 10 new Target Date Retirement Income Funds (TDIFTM).

“IPX offers the single delivery of custodial services, including cash processing and customized debit cards, as well as necessary administrative and recordkeeping services,” noted James Olson, Managing Director at FPS and architect of the platform.

“In addition to enabling individuals to self-direct 100% of their HSA balance into a variety of investments, the platform also allows financial advisors to offer HSA investment management services to the same clients who know and trust them for other services, like IRAs,” he added.

Pat Jarrett, President of HealthSavings, said: “We are excited to give Dimensional Fund Advisors’ employees as well as the financial advisors they work with the ability to view the activity within their HSA program, much the same way they might view the aggregated or individual records of a 401(k).”

“For institutions who wish to enter or remain relevant in the HSA space, IPX offers a cost-effective way to provide an HSA program,” said Olson.

He added, “The platform can be customized for any investment provider who wants to attract HSA investors or financial advisors who want a turnkey HSA solution for their clients. And because the platform includes a link to the NSCC via Matrix/Broadridge, all account opening and transaction activity is completely automated, putting investment providers into a “DCIO-like” position for the growing HSA market.”

The triple-tax advantages of HSAs are well known; however, to date, the accounts have not been fully embraced by investment providers because of the perceived lack of efficiencies surrounding what have typically been low-balance, high-transaction accounts. IPX removes this burden and makes it possible for providers to engage with HSAs the way they do with IRAs.
