CGA Investment Solutions
    After years of working “within the system”, the frustration level
    of the principals at Charitable Solutions, LLC finally hit the
    tipping point in mid-2008. As a result, we began to offer our
    CGA investment management solutions as an alternative to
    the standard, one-size-fits-all philosophy typically employed
    today when managing life-income assets - particularly CGAs.

    CGA Investment Solutions (CGAIS) was established to do one
    thing - provide an investment solution that manages charitable
    gift annuities as the depleting assets they are and not like the
    perpetual endowments they certainly are not. Our guiding
    principle in managing these funds is simple - KNOW YOUR
    RISKS. UNDERSTAND YOUR DOWNSIDE. INVEST
    ACCORDINGLY.

    Our bottom-up approach is based on the CGA pools’ known
    cash flows, known liabilities and the charities’ ability to tolerate
    a quantifiable downside. Our investment philosophy does not
    revolve around the world’s equity markets rescuing underwater
    CGA pools. It’s based on known characteristics of each pool
    and solving for the asset allocation equation accordingly.

    CGAIS combines risk management expertise, analytical
    discipline and seasoned judgment to deliver customized
    investment solutions for each and every CGA pool.
