Overview for
Investment Advisors
Donor-advised funds' (DAFs') role in charitable giving has grown dramatically over the past decade, making DAFs an important offering for investment advisors to provide to their clients. At Fiduciary Trust Charitable, we have a flexible DAF offering through which approved investment advisors can provide tailored investment management services for DAFs established by their clients.
