Saturna Capital Unveils Enhanced HSA for Muslim Investors

Enhancements to the Shifa Health Savings Account

Saturna Capital Corporation has recently improved its Shifa Health Savings Account (HSA), which is specifically designed for Muslim investors' needs. This innovative HSA integrates Islamic Investment Principles, ensuring that it aligns with religious beliefs while adhering to the highest industry standards.

Features of the Shifa HSA

The Shifa HSA offers a range of Islamic-compliant mutual funds, which consciously avoid speculative investments. Additionally, to remain in accordance with Islamic finance, the associated debit card does not generate interest, effectively circumventing riba.

Key Benefits for Account Holders

This enhanced HSA boasts several features aimed at providing a seamless experience for account holders, including:

• A selection of highly rated mutual funds with no investment minimum specifically curated for Muslim investors.
• An intuitive user platform, simplifying investment selection, payment of qualified medical expenses, and reimbursement processes.
• Modern account features designed to facilitate effortless receipt retention.
• A Spending Account that provides the stability and features expected from a premier health savings plan.

Recognition and Trust

Saturna has established itself as a dependable provider of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) for many years and has recently been acknowledged by Investor’s Business Daily as one of the top 12 Best Health Savings Account Providers for the upcoming year.

Commitment to Islamic Investors

“We take pride in our long-standing history of offering compliant options for Islamic investors, and our HSA is a testament to this commitment,” stated Jane Carten, President of Saturna Capital. She emphasized that the HSA offerings reflect customer feedback in two principal areas: enhancing the features and flexibility of the Spending Account and refining the Investment Account.

Collaboration with Experts

Saturna Capital takes pride in selecting investments that align with Islamic faith principles at the time of their selection. To ensure ongoing compliance with Islamic investment standards, the company collaborates with Amanie Advisors Sdn Bhd, a notable consultant in Islamic finance.

Tax Advantages of the Shifa HSA

The Shifa HSA is not just about compliance; it is also a tax-efficient savings solution. It enables account holders to save for and pay for qualified medical expenses effectively. Participants enrolled in a Qualified High Deductible Health Plan can enjoy various benefits, including tax-free contributions, earnings, and withdrawals.
