CNBC’s Jim Cramer discusses dozens of stocks daily. Most of his focus is typically on technology stocks, and he chooses which stocks to talk about primarily because of their news relevance, current market cycles, or viewer interest. However, while he might discuss all kinds of stocks, only a select few make it into the portfolio of his Charitable Trust.
Cramer’s Charitable Trust is part of CNBC’s Investing Club, which is overseen by Cramer himself. He set up the Trust in 2005 after contributing $3 million personally. Since he discusses the stock on air, CNBC’s policies about conflict of interest prevent either Cramer or the network to take any profits from the Trust. As a result, the profits are donated to charitable causes, while Cramer assumes the risk of losses. According to CNBC, the Trust has generated more than $4.3 million in contributions since its inception.
So naturally, as not only is Cramer’s capital at risk if the Trust’s portfolio goes down, but also since he uses it as an educational tool for his Investing Club subscribers, it’s quite important that the Trust performs well. After all, Cramer’s Investing Club subscribers are more likely to keep their subscriptions if the Trust’s stocks perform well.
Additionally, in order to keep things fair for his viewers and podcast listeners, every time Cramer discusses a Trust portfolio stock, he is required to disclose this fact. As a result, investors can know whether he trusts a stock that he is praising enough to include it into his valuable Charitable Trust portfolio. After all, while it’s impossible to count the number of stocks that cross Jim Cramer’s radar in even a month, the fact that the Trust holds a select number of stocks does lend them a vote of confidence. As of April 2026, the Trust held 31 stocks.
So, which large-cap blue chip stocks were recently in Jim Cramer’s Charitable Trust? Let’s take a look.
