Million Thanks!!!

The most recently available purchase price for an ICN was set at HK$250,000. Future face values and subscription prices are anticipated to be higher. But not more than HK$400,000.

With the rising costs of everything in the last few years, for prospective parents that are going to be entering and won't be able to buy the next tranche of ICNs at $400k (which are for those already in CAIS), I think it would best to plan for something higher than $400k when they will be able be to buy once their child has entered the school.  Call me a cynic...

In their official communication, they've stated to be anticipated to be not less than $400,000.  But the impression left by the school is that it will be at $400k for the next tranche barring from other factors.  Future tranches will be unknown.  At least that's my impression.

Every school is facing similar challenges, and the delay in the school build as a result of the very late handover of the land from the government has compounded the problem.  Image the cost of building when Harrow built vs building now, as they were part of the same grant scheme in the same year.

Thanks again for all the useful information! Does the school ever reveal the amount of the annual levy? And is there any discount on the debenture for siblings? if 400K x 2 or x 3....it sounds a huge sum !

Sibling discount yes. But not too significant, about 5% off for the second one

唔好意思，之前係第二個CAIS post 問過但冇人答。想問CAIS 收生係似其他IS係每年Calendar Year?定係似local school 由9月至第二年12月？因為刨完成個CAIS website 都無寫。

Correct me if I am wrong, debenture in other school have higher resale value (market price) sometimes 5 or 10 times in few years time, compare to the first batch! and the school will issue new debenture following market value.

In CAIS however, It named ICN, their value they does not change. therefore no higher resale price. I assume in future ICN holder can sale the ICN back to the school with exact money that he paid for.

The good things is...If up to the market to determine the price, it could be real high under the demand and supply law!

MarcusD

some school consider debenture holder as higher priority in admission order. and some school are non refundable.

Technical differences between the two, but they are effectively the same.

For CAIS, it's an ICN that can only be sold back to the school at face value, in the year following departure or 2018 (anticipated occupancy 2017), whichever is later.
