Smart planning for future education costs.
The Johnsons are concerned about the unpredictable rise in college tuition costs. With three children nearing college age, they face a potential $250,000+ expense in just tuition alone (not including room and board or other associated costs) and worry that their current investment strategy won't keep pace with inflation and tuition hikes. They need a solution to lock in a predictable cost for future college expenses.
By utilizing the Forward Premium Calculator, we helped the Johnsons analyze the potential benefits of investing in forward contracts tied to a basket of university endowment funds. The calculator showed that by accepting a modest premium today, they could effectively lock in a future tuition rate, hedging against significant cost increases. This strategy also provided a potential return exceeding traditional savings accounts. Using a projected forward premium of 3%, the Johnsons could offset a large portion of future tuition inflation, giving them a predictable expense and preserving capital for retirement.
The Forward Premium Calculator uses spot rates, forward rates, and time periods to calculate the forward premium or discount. This data was coupled with projected tuition inflation rates to arrive at the savings projection for the Johnsons.
