Are any of these investment options in my HSA worthwhile? My employer gives me $900 per year in the HSA for free, but I'm considering putting more in. Right now I max out my 401K, Roth IRA, and ESPP, and invest a little more in taxable accounts. It sounds like if I contribute to my HSA it's a "cafeteria plan" (what does that even mean? that's a stupid name) so I save on FICA tax in addition to income tax.
I did a spreadsheet earlier today, and it looks like after about 30 years the higher expense ratios (compared to Vanguard funds) eat up all the tax savings. I could open an account with another company like HSA bank, but the monthly/annual fees with companies I've found are significant while the size of investment is small, and I'm not sure I want to continue to max out this account for a long time so I don't end up with too much money that I can't use. Plus having two accounts is a hassle, and I need to keep the one my company provides because that's where the contributions have to go.
This HSA is formerly through Chase. It was bought by HSA Bank, but they haven't transitioned anything over yet. I don't know what would happen if I end up with two HSA bank accounts? I don't know what it will look like after the transition. They say it will be "seamless".
So are any of these investment options any good? I looked up some of the lower expense ratio ones, and it looks like they under-perform the market, compared to larger index funds.
