Investing in these securities involves considerations and potential risks not typically associated with investments in domestic corporations and obligations issued by the U.S. government. These risks include risks associated with changes in currency values, economic, political and social unrest, the regulatory environment of the countries where the fund invests, as well as difficulties in receiving current and accurate information.
Index Fund	An index fund mirrors the holdings of a broad based market index such as the S&P 500. The goal of an index fund is to match the returns of the index.
Fixed Income	Fixed income funds generally invest in bonds and other debt instruments which pay a steady stream of income.
Lifestyle Funds	Lifestyle Funds are funds whose asset mix is determined according to the level of risk and return that is appropriate for an investor’s current life situation. Lifestyle funds may be conservative, moderate or aggressive.
Money Market	Money market funds invest in debt instruments with maturities of one year or less and are considered very liquid.

About our investment advisor

Devenir Investment Advisors LLC is a registered investment advisor that was chosen by Horizon to research and select the HSA mutual fund investment options. Devenir’s investment selection methodology screens the plan’s mutual fund options on a number of criteria, which includes, but is not limited to, total fund performance, category ranking by Morningstar and track record. Devenir will periodically review and may recommend changes in the group of mutual funds available in the Basic Investment Account if a particular fund no longer meets Devenir’s investment selection criteria. You will not be given separate notice of these changes; however, if you access your Basic Investment Account at www.horizonblue.com, you can find a list of the current group of mutual funds and find access to the fund prospectuses. Any change in the group of mutual funds will not affect amounts you have previously invested, and you may continue to invest in funds that are no longer part of the group.

The HSA investment account mutual fund selections represent a variety of asset classes. This allows you to choose how you want to allocate your assets.

Historically, no one asset class outperforms any other. By diversifying your investments among various asset classes you have the potential for minimizing risk and maximizing returns in your account, but there is no guarantee. Diversification and asset allocation do not protect your account from market fluctuations and do not guarantee a gain or protect against a loss of principal in your account.

To determine your asset allocation you should consider factors such as your risk tolerance, investment objectives and time horizon for these assets. When considering your time horizon for any investment you choose to make in your HSA, keep in mind the role you expect your HSA to play in meeting your future health care needs and that you may need to liquidate investments to fund a withdrawal from your HSA. How do you determine an asset allocation that’s right for you?

Through the HSA investment account, you have access to a number of web-based educational and planning tools to help you make your investment selections. These tools include an easy-to-use asset allocation calculator, prospectuses and research reports. By completing a brief investor profile with the HSA asset allocation calculator, you will receive a custom, suggested portfolio allocation mix that you may wish to consider when you make your investment decisions.

Over time, your risk tolerance, investment objectives or time horizon for these assets may change. The asset allocation you choose today may not be appropriate in the future. It’s a good idea to re-evaluate these factors and rebalance your portfolio as necessary.
