Stage 2 (2021) “Investing in the Future”
$20.00
A bequest of $5,000,000 left by a wealthy great-aunt is given for creating a legacy by providing bursaries to promising scholars at a nearby school.
The case presents a challenge of managing the bequest by focusing on longevity, and ensuring that the capital is preserved and the interest yields higher returns than the education price index to support scholars for the duration of their time at the school. It is also necessary to find the optimal portion of interest and capital to disburse from the long-term investment account to maximize the number of scholars receiving bursaries over the long-term.
