Advisor-Managed DAFs are now live on Altruist. Big news! Altruist and Endaoment have partnered to bring donor-advised funds right into the platform where advisors already work. Advisors can now lead their clients' giving alongside everything else they manage, with the DAF as a fully managed investment sleeve. You can find the LinkedIn post here or read more about the product on their website. Why Endaoment is (very) excited. This is the Endaoment API doing exactly what Endaoment built it to do, at real scale, for one of the industry's most innovative custodians. Endaoment want more institutions, custodians, RIA firms, wealthtech platforms, and even nonprofits to create their own DAF programs with Endaoment. Endaoment see DAFs as a vital part of a thorough wealth strategy and a necessary edge for maintaining long-term connections with clients and their heirs. This partnership sends a clear message to the broader fintech community that DAFs belong alongside every other account type. What Endaoment has opened up. Once a client authorizes it, their advisor can handle the entire DAF workflow: contributions, grant recommendations, and investment portfolios on the client's behalf, all directly in the platform. The client remains engaged in the enjoyable parts, like which causes to support, but can let their advisor lead. Endaoment expect richer conversations to follow, about values and legacy and not just the latest performance report. On the assets. Every contribution is an irrevocable gift to Endaoment as the sponsor. Clients and their advisors recommend grants, and Endaoment approve and send them. Meanwhile, the assets stay custodied at Altruist and managed by the advisor, so they never leave the book. Advisors set their own management fee and disclose it to clients separately. Its part. Its API lets partners offer DAFs as their own product, with Endaoment quietly behind the scenes. Advisors and clients never need a second login. As the 501(c)(3) sponsor, Endaoment review grant recommendations, send approved grants to nonprofits, and supply Altruist with nonprofit information and tax receipt data. And when a donation, fund, or grant needs the human touch, its Giving Services team helps move it across the finish line. The result? Giving becomes part of the plan year-round, not just the thing that happens in December. Client values shape the relationship long before a grant ever goes out, and advisors gain a meaningful new way to connect with the people they serve. Endaoment is thrilled to see Altruist bring giving in line with the rest of the book, and Endaoment can't wait to see what advisors do with it. Read more on their site About Endaoment: Endaoment is a nonprofit that provides the technology and services for turning investments into impact. Endaoment give platforms and donors alike the infrastructure to convert any asset, from cash, stocks, and bonds to crypto and alternative assets like private equity, real estate, and pre-IPO shares, into transparent, tax-deductible support for any of more than 1.8 million nonprofits, with every gift verifiable onchain. Builders can embed giving directly into their own products through its modular API, and donors can give and invest in DAFs through the Endaoment app. Learn more at endaoment.org.
Altruist has launched donor-advised funds (DAFs) on its wealth technology platform, allowing advisors to open and manage charitable giving accounts without separate systems or minimums. The platform enables advisors to set up DAFs in minutes and lets clients recommend grants directly from their accounts or mobile app, choosing from over 1.8 million eligible charities. Unlike traditional DAF platforms with fixed investment menus, Altruist allows assets to be invested in any marketplace model, including custom portfolios and personalised-indexing strategies. Altruist charges fees starting at 50 basis points annually, below the typical 60 to 65 basis points charged by other DAF sponsors. The platform imposes no account-opening, balance, or grant minimums. The DAF accounts are sponsored by Endaoment, a 501(c)(3) public charity.
Altruist adds donor-advised funds to platform. The custodian's new offering features no account minimums, lower fees than competitors and flexible investment options for advisors managing client philanthropy. Davis Janowski, Senior Technology Editor, Wealth Management October 5, 2026 Want a quick summary? Custodian Altruist has added donor-advised funds to its platform, allowing advisors to open, fund, invest and manage those charitable vehicles for clients in minutes without a separate system, the company said. Advisors can transfer an existing fund in two steps: contribute cash or appreciated securities and see the fund appear alongside other holdings in the household view, according to Altruist. "Giving is one of the most personal things a client does with their advisor. We want to support advisors and their clients through that process by making donor-advised funds easy to navigate and access," said Jason Wenk, founder and CEO of Altruist, in a prepared statement. According to Altruist, assets in the new donor-advised fund can be invested in any model in the marketplace, including custom portfolios and personalized indexing strategies, unlike most DAF platforms that restrict investment choices to a fixed menu. The platform has no account-opening, balance or grant minimums, and fees start at 50 basis points annually, below the 60 to 65 basis points typical among other donor-advised fund sponsors, according to Altruist. Clients can recommend grants directly from their Altruist account or mobile app, choosing from more than 1.8 million eligible charities without waiting for their advisor to initiate the transaction. Donor-advised fund accounts created on the Altruist platform will be sponsored by Endaoment, a 501(c)(3) public charity that is the legal owner of DAF assets and the customer of record on the account, according to Altruist. It has been a busy few months for the custody, clearing, and technology provider to RIAs. In late August, news came that the company had agreed to be acquired by Vanguard for $4.6 billion.

Q&A: State Street goes live with custody offering. 3 hours ago Britton, D. (2026, September 17). Q&A: State Street goes live with custody offering. WealthManagement.com. https://www.wealthmanagement.com/ria-news/state-street-launches-new-ria-custody-business * State Street went live this week with State Street Wealth Services, a new RIA clearing and custody business that the firm is now actively marketing to wealth managers. * The firm intends to bring on its first anchor client, a top U.S.-based RIA, within the next couple of months, and has approximately 40 additional RIA firms in the pipeline. * The offering is built on the digital clearing and custody platform of Apex Fintech Solutions, in which State Street took a minority interest last October, with State Street acting as introducing broker and adding its own layer of data, services and AI capabilities around Apex's APIs. * State Street sold a majority stake in its Wealth Manager Services business to FNZ about five years ago and continues to hold a minority stake in that business. * The unit hired Jennifer Stokes, former head of clearing operations at Altruist, as head of wealth custody and clearing, and Pete Dorsey, previously of LPL Financial, Altruist and TD Ameritrade, as chief revenue officer for wealth custody and clearing. * John Plansky, executive vice president and head of State Street Wealth Services, said the offering targets RIAs with $1 billion or more in assets rather than smaller firms, and that State Street has decided not to operate as a wealth manager itself. * Plansky cited legacy custodian practices such as charging ETF providers for platform placement, an issue analysts raised in connection with Vanguard's decision to buy Altruist, as an opening for a new entrant.
