Benefits

  • Support for charities – Charities may receive grants immediately
  • Regular payments – A CGA provides fixed payments for life with rates generally higher than CDs
  • Flexibility – Use a single CGA to benefit multiple charities

Different types of investments involve risk, including the possible loss of principal. Asset allocation may be used in an effort to manage risk and enhance returns; it does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss, and the results of any asset-allocation strategy depend on the performance of the underlying investments. Investing in private funds and direct investments involves significant risks, including illiquidity, restrictions on transfer, and long or uncertain holding periods. Strategies involving energy or other real assets may be subject to commodity-price volatility, operational and working-interest risks (including dry holes and mechanical failures), hedging and basis risk, regulatory and environmental risks, counterparty risks, and other factors. Past performance is not indicative of future results, and no representation is made that any target, projection, or objective will be achieved.
Any targets, projections, or illustrative returns are forward-looking, hypothetical in nature, and presented solely to describe investment objectives and potential outcomes under stated assumptions; they are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results will differ, possibly materially, due to, among other things, market conditions, fees and expenses, leverage, timing, commodity prices, and operational outcomes.
