Investment procedures

Policies & procedures for
stock & investments

You can fund your portfolio account in three ways:

  1. Transfer stocks to our DAF for sale and liquidity
  2. Hold stocks in our DAF while enjoying the gains
  3. Invest through one of our partnered actively managed ETFs.

Donate your stocks to be sold immediately or keep it for a period of time.

  • When donating your stocks it will be automatically transferred to the investment account, where you have the ability to request that they are sold all or part (min. sale is $10,000) of the shares whenever you desire. There is no brokerage fee. The proceeds will be transferred to your DAF account.
  • You will get a receipt on the stock based on the FMV (Full Market Value) on the date you donated the stock. (If it’s a short term stock and the value of the stock increased, your tax deduction would be for the amount you bought the stock. You will discuss this with your tax advisor)
  • If you would like us to keep the stock, we will evaluate the stock to make sure it’s not volatile. We also reserve the right to sell the stock in the event the value of the stock falls below 10 basis points. This is done to protect the assets of the donated stocks. We will therefore need the exact details of the stock and evaluate it prior to donation.
  • No fees are charged by OJC for your stock donation.
  • There may be a charge of up to $45 for the sale of mutual funds transferred into the OJC Fund.
  • Option contracts that are transferred may have a sales commission of up to $1.00 per contract.

  • See your monthly stock value in your statement.
  • When your funds are being transferred to your DAF account the regular charge structure will apply.
