I meant investing for a shortish period of time, and retaining control of the funds until I donate. So it would mostly be about deferring the decision for a bit while still getting tax benefits, as opposed to delegating the decision to the trustees of the Long-Term Fund.
I lean towards giving sooner instead of later for “hinginess” reasons. I also think the vast majority of EA resources are already invested in some sense (in human capital, expansion orientated organisations or Open Philanthropy finances).
I do think your fund is a good idea though, I can imagine changing my mind and there are certainly plenty of people who disagree with me!
Thanks for reading!
