Planning for Your Secure Future Today

Tax-Free Savings Searching for a solution to today s rising health care costs? We have the answer you have been looking for Health Savings Accounts Tax-Free Contributions What s Inside? Tax-Free Disbursements Overview of the HSAToday TM Investment Program HSAToday TM Model Portfolios Investment Strategy Questionnaire HSAToday TM Investment Enrollment Form What Are the Benefits of Investing Your HSA Funds? Whether you are a current HSA account holder or you are just now enrolling, it s a good idea to consider investing some of your account funds. Many Americans will depend on personal savings and investments during retirement. Using your Health Savings Account as a long-term investment vehicle is an excellent way to add to your retirement strategy. Tax-Free Investments All contributions and earnings in your HSA are considered tax-free by the IRS and will not be taxed unless you withdraw them for non-medical reasons. Portability There is no use-it-or-lose-it rule associated with HSAs. HSAs are owned by the account holder and roll over year after year. Even if you change jobs, the money in the account is yours to keep. Flexibility You can change the amount you want to invest and the way the funds are invested. And you can always access the money in your account if the need arises. Multiple Investment Options You can pick from one of four investment models or create your very own custom investment portfolio. Save Today for a Healthy Future TM

verview The HSAToday TM Investment Program offers qualified account holders a diverse range of investment alternatives to choose from, along with four professionally-managed model portfolios that support varied investment objectives and risk tolerance. Account holders should be aware that this investment program is intended for long-term investments only and not to be used for short-term cash availability. How is the Program Administered? How Do I Know Where to Invest? Review the Investment Strategy Questionnaire in this guide. Results from this questionnaire are not meant to tell you which investments to choose. This questionnaire is meant to help you understand your objectives and thoughts about investment risks so that you can select the investments that are right for you. You should use this information plus any investment advice available to you to make your investment decisions. DataPath Financial Services, Inc. (DFS) is the program administrator. DFS is responsible for establishing sub-accounts, keeping records for account holders, and creating/maintaining a website to include the model portfolio selection process and trading capabilities. National Advisors Trust Company (NATC) is the program custodian. NATC processes deposits, withdrawals, interest, and dividends; settles all transactions; and values account holdings daily. SunGard Transaction Network (STN) is the trading platform for the funds in the HSAToday TM Investment Program. ECM Advisors, Inc. (ECM) is the program s investment advisor. ECM screen, selects, and monitors the investment options and constructs and maintains the model portfolios. ECM is an affiliate of Evans Capital Management, Inc.. The Model Portfolios What Fund Research is Available? You should read the prospectus and fund fact sheet for each fund. Fund analysis, ratings, quotes, and prospectus information is available at www.morningstar.com or other investment research websites. You can also contact the funds directly to get a copy of the prospectus or other fund information. Who s Eligible for the Investment Program? You must be enrolled in the HSAToday TM program to be eligible for the Investment Program. You must also meet and maintain the minimum balance set by your custodian before investing. How Can I Access My Online Investment Options? 1. Log in to your HSAToday TM account at www.myrsc.com or www.myhsatoday.com, and click the HSAToday TM link. 2. An HSA Investor menu will give you access to a full range of services, including: Program enrollment Investment fund selection and/or modification Access to prospectus and summary financial information on each investment option Statements of investment holdings and activity Conservative Growth Model The Conservative Growth Model seeks modest long-term growth by investing 35% 55% of its portfolio in equity investments, with the remaining portion in fixed income holdings. While intended to exhibit the least amount of volatility among the four models, investors choosing this model should understand that accounts will fluctuate in value and could lose money. A significant portion of this model s modest return will come from its fixed income holdings. Investors should have a time horizon of four years or more. An account invested using the Conservative Growth Portfolio model could be subject to a loss of 8% or more in any given year, depending on the severity of weak stock market conditions. Balanced Growth Model The Balanced Growth Model seeks long-term growth by investing 50% 70% of its portfolio in equity investments, with the remaining portion in fixed income holdings. This model portfolio offers an opportunity for modest capital appreciation, as well as some current income derived from its significant fixed income holdings. Investors choosing this model should have a time horizon of six to eight years or more, and be willing to accept some volatility in their annual returns. An account invested using the Balanced Growth Portfolio model could be subject to a loss of 12% or more in any given year, depending on the severity of weak stock market conditions. Moderate Growth Model The Moderate Growth Model seeks substantial long-term growth by investing 65% 85% of its portfolio in equity investments, with the remaining portion in fixed income holdings. Investors choosing this model should have a time horizon of eight to 10 years or more, and be willing to accept significant volatility in annual returns. The Moderate Growth Portfolio model is appropriate for longer-term investors seeking higher returns, while using a limited fixed income position to buffer some of the downturns in the stock market. Accounts invested in this model could be subject to a loss of 16% or more in any given year, depending on the severity of weak stock market conditions. Aggressive Growth Model The Aggressive Growth Model seeks to maximize long-term growth by investing 80% 100% of its portfolio in equity investments, with any remaining portion in fixed income holdings. Investors choosing this model should have a time horizon of 10 years or more, and be willing to accept a large amount of volatility in annual returns. An aggressive investor is willing to take on a great deal of risk in an attempt to maximize the value of his/her account. An account invested using the Aggressive Growth Portfolio model could be subject to a loss of 20% or more in any given year, depending on the severity of weak stock market conditions. Not FDIC Insured Not Bank Guaranteed May Lose Value

The financial component refers to an investor s ability to take on risk purely based on his or her financial circumstances, such as the length of time they will invest, the chance that they will need to divest earlier than planned, and their return requirements. The psychological component assesses intangible and emotional factors such as peace of mind, fear, or greed based on past investment experience. Psychological factors become material if an investor accepts too high a level of risk, and winds up abandoning the approach after incurring short-term losses. This is a significant risk, because the impact on long-term returns is great. In our questionnaire, we categorize each question as financial or psychological and assign a score. The higher the score, the greater the ability to accept risk and the higher the long-term potential return is. Based on the total score, we assign the investor to one of our four model portfolios.
