要買HK$500,000債券, 會考慮嗎？

MaryBrown

有些學校強逼每個家庭買債券，你們會要受嗎？

首先要睇吓自己比唔比得起HK$500,000.  如果比得起, 就要考慮有無其他好D學校可以選擇.  如果無, 就焗住要買.  當然如果認為這學校完全唔值, 就另計

如果會升值，老虎都買！

請問邊間

As far as I know, a number of IS has debentures that cost exactly HK$500,000.
1. HKIS has non-interest bearing debentures of HK$500,000 each, but the school website said "debentures are currently fully subscribed".
2. Kellet School's Foundation Sibling Debentures and Depreciating Corporate Debentures (both depreciating over 8 years to zero) are HK$500,000 each.
3. Singapore International School's Corporate Debentures are HK$500,000 each.

Kellet School's Foundation Debentures costs $10M each.  仲有無人貴得過佢?  
估唔到家吓D學校除咗鬥成績好, 鬥長waiting lists之外, 仲要鬥貴, 死未?

My friend's boss paid HK$6 million and has secured a place at ISF for his daughter.

Sorry should be HK$6M to Harrow.  My apology.

Saying it honestly, If that is a good school, and suitable much for my children, and as I could afford that, I will.
You can get it back as the children finish school.
I don't see it as "強逼", every school has their own rules and policy.  They need this such money for running the school, and as one of the school, some responsibilty should take ( I think so for myself) to run the school that you are in.
In another words, no people will say "putting on school uniform is a Force to".

my friend also bought a few million worth of debentures from ISF, and her son got in the school - not sure if they're "related"
...but she said ISF's debentures have been appreciating in value?? again I don't really know the truth!

dadmumkids

As I learnt, the buyer of debentures of ISF should know the seller (old parents of ISF) and the profit would be shared by the seller and the school.  It's been an advantage to get into if you hold the debenture of the school.  That’s the reason their value would be easily appreciated.
But not all IS’ debentures can buy in free market.

Harrow出年系比6百萬.

bobbycheung

It appears that neither Harrow Beijing nor Harrow Bangkok require their students to pay debentures.  Am I right?

入學價等於買一間小單位、

Think first batch of ISF debenture from some years back was about HK$200k.  It then keeps going higher and the latest batch is HK$4.5 mil.  Think market value is a bit higher from HK$4.5 mil to HK$4.8 mil.
