Jewish Communal Fund offers Israel investments

JCF offers mission-aligned Israel investments.

Today we celebrate the State of Israel’s 67th birthday. Through our generous fund holders, the Jewish Communal Fund (JCF) recommends tens of millions of dollars annually to charities benefiting Israel’s welfare.

One of the distinguishing factors in using JCF to manage your charitable giving is the ability to invest your charitable assets in mission-aligned investment vehicles. As you may be aware, fund holders can contribute Israel Bonds to JCF, and also invest their fund assets in the two-year Maccabee bonds. We also offer the option of investing charitable assets in the Market Vectors Israel ETF (ISRA).  We are pleased to announce that we have lowered the minimum investment requirement for the Market Vectors Israel ETF from $50,000 to $5,000, making it more accessible to our donor community.

The Market Vectors Israel ETF seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the total return performance of the BlueStar Israel Global Index. The Index is comprised of publicly traded Israeli companies. We always suggest that you review the Investment Performance, which can be accessed here, before making changes to your fund’s investment allocation. Please use the Fund Investment Recommendation Form should you wish to make any changes to your investments. For questions related to investments, please contact Igor Musayev at [email protected] or (646) 843-6889.

Wishing you a joyful Yom Ha’atzmaut!
