Investments

At AEF, we offer flexible investment options to help each donor meet his or her unique philanthropic objectives.

  • Investments: Your Fund may invest in a broad range of securities, including stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. Contributed assets can also be held in-kind.
  • Investment Management: AEF gives donors the ability to maintain a relationship with an existing financial advisor. The recommended advisor can provide the Fund an investment approach that is balanced and customized.
  • Separately Managed Accounts: At AEF, each Fund is segregated and separately managed. AEF does not pool or commingle investments.
    • Customization. You and your advisor can recommend a tailored investment program for your Donor Advised Fund.
    • Transparency. At AEF, you know which securities are held in your Fund's portfolio.
  • Custody Flexibility: You or your advisor can recommend where investments are custodied.
