At Daffy, we know that every penny that you contribute to your fund counts. All of our portfolios are composed of high-quality, low-cost index funds managed by some of the most trustworthy providers in the industry: Vanguard, and BlackRock. Unlike many donor-advised funds, we don’t charge an additional management fee for investment portfolios.
Daffy offers a total of 12 different portfolios across four different categories: Conservative, Standard, ESG, and Crypto.
For each type of portfolio, Daffy provides several options that vary in terms of risk and volatility, so you can select the portfolio that best matches your own risk tolerance and sensibilities.
Conservative | Standard |
Conservative portfolios are the best fit for members whose priority is preserving capital over investment returns. These portfolios do not hold equities or crypto, and are comprised solely of cash or inflation-protected bonds. There is no expense ratio for the all-cash portfolio, and the expense ratio for the bond portfolios is very low, ranging between 0.04% to 0.05%. | Standard portfolios are composed of low-cost and globally diversified index funds provided by Vanguard, one of the most trustworthy providers in the industry. Each portfolio is comprised of a balanced mix of equities and bonds, with separate funds for US and International exposure. Depending on your goals and risk tolerance, you can select from balanced, growth, and aggressive options. The average expense ratio for the ETFs in these portfolios is exceptionally low at 0.05%. |
Environmental, Social, and Governance | Crypto |
ESG portfolios are composed of low-cost globally diversified funds that are selected not only for traditional measures of risk and return, but also for environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) standards by BlackRock. Daffy has selected funds from iShares by BlackRock for their low-cost and superb reputation. Each portfolio is comprised of a balanced mix of equities and bonds, with separate funds for US and International exposure. You can select from conservative, moderate, and aggressive options.
