Investment Approaches for CGA Pools

There is no “one-size-fits-all” approach for investing a non-profit’s charitable gift annuity pool. ACGA Board members Pat Cox and Kevin McGowan will discuss a variety of approaches from a practitioner’s point of view, highlighting the various issues associated with these assets: portfolio construction with risk/return tradeoffs, liquidity needs, regulatory constraints, investment and longevity risks, outsourcing options, reporting requirements. Participants will gain insights into whether their investment approaches can possibly improve when considering all the various aspects and risks of a CGA program. Participant interaction will be encouraged through a Q&A session.

ACGA Members: $50 / ACGA Non-members: $75
