WealthTrack Anchor and Executive Producer Consuelo Mack opens the new season with "Maximizing Charitable Giving," a new philanthropy special featuring an interview with Pamela Norley, president of Fidelity Charitable, the oldest donor-advised fund (DAF) and the second-largest grantmaker in the country, and Elda Di Re, private client services leader of EY's National Tax Department. They discuss how to simplify, organize and maximize charitable giving and tax deductions, including identifying well-run charities and donating illiquid assets like real estate and art. These are some of the issues handled by leading DAFs, which are charitable giving vehicles administered by nonprofit sponsoring organizations that also streamline and vet the giving process.

WealthTrack's 14th season will feature ongoing coverage of the Trump administration's impact on the economy, markets and major entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare. Upcoming episodes will explore the benefits and risks of the increasingly popular passive index-fund investment approach versus traditional active management, as well as the growing influence of impact or sustainable investing on financial decisions. Dedicated to helping viewers build long-term financial security, the series will continue to provide trustworthy, understandable advice from the best minds in the world of business and finance, including exclusive interviews with acknowledged "Great Investors" and "Financial Thought Leaders." Among them, Professor Burton Malkiel, author of the investment classic A Random Walk Down Wall Street, will discuss his lessons learned over four decades as an investor and how his thinking has evolved.

"No matter what is happening in the outside world, our first priority on WealthTrack is to help viewers build financial security to last a lifetime. Our in-depth interviews on essential financial topics with the acknowledged experts in their fields enable us to do that every week. It is a privilege and honor to share public television's mission of educating and enlightening for a 14th season," said Mack.

Launched in July 2005, Consuelo Mack WealthTrack remains the only program on television devoted to long-term diversified investing, and is seen in 85% of U.S. TV households, including 28 of the top 30 markets. An award-winning, veteran business journalist with an extensive rolodex, Mack handpicks each guest based on their long-term track records, professional reputation and integrity to provide the best information about investing, personal finance and retirement planning amidst economic, market and political changes. Money magazine named WealthTrack "The Best Money on TV." USA Today observed, "Consuelo Mack's Charlie Rose-esque interview style - quietly intelligent, thoughtful and aimed at a well-informed audience - suits her half-hour show."
