Schwab Charitable Expands Investment Options

Schwab Charitable, the donor advised fund from Charles Schwab & Co,, has expanded the underlying investment options in its Charitable Gifts Accounts to twelve, including nine individual investment pools and three asset allocation pools. The individual pools include two fixed-income pools (including PIMCO’s five-star Total Return bond fund–PTTDX–and a TIPS fund from American Century–ACITX), two international equity pools (including the five-star Manning & Napier World Opportunities fund–EXWAX), and an SRI pool, the five-star Parnassus Equity Income Fund–PRBLX.

In addition, Schwab Charitable has introduced a new advice tool available at schwabcharitable.com that is designed to help donors determine their investing time horizon, their risk tolerance, and their charitable granting behavior.
