Find The Right Investment Option For You

While choosing the right plan and investment options is an important decision, we make it easy to get started. If your investment preferences or goals change, you can ​exchange your options two times per year.

Starting is easy. Choose from a number of ready-made portfolios or create your own portfolio from individual investment options, including FDIC-insured banking options. We partner with leading investment managers, Vanguard, Dimensional Fund Advisors, Fifth Third Bank, and BlackRock (Advisor Plan) to bring you the best options.
