Q: who makes the enDowment investment Decisions For Brunswick school?

a: The endowment’s asset allocation policies and individual investment decisions are made by the Investment Committee of the School’s Board of Trustees. The Investment Committee is comprised of ten members from the Brunswick community with deep investment experience and expertise.

Further, Committee members have an extensive network of investment manager relationships, which is very helpful in uncovering investment opportunities for the endowment.

Q: coulD you DescriBe the investment selection process For Brunswick’s enDowment?

a: The endowment’s investment process first starts with the establishment of asset allocation guidelines that are consistent with both the endowment’s conservative risk tolerance and longterm growth objectives. Currently, the endowment has sizable allocations to fixed income, equities and marketable alternatives with smaller allocations to commodities and illiquid investments. Within each asset class, the Investment Committee endeavors to select individual investment managers with significant and differentiated skill in delivering excess returns.

was this accomplished?

for the next year or two?

a: The Investment Committee was fortunate to have avoided the large drawdown that many other endowments experienced during the crisis. This largely resulted from our approach to asset allocation, wherein we had a large allocation to fixed income and relatively small exposures to long equity managers and illiquid private investments. We were also able to make some tactical investment decisions to reduce risk during that very volatile investment period.

a: It is both a challenging and interesting environment to invest.

One of the challenges is the very low returns available in many fixed income markets, given the low level of interest rates. Complementing this is the myriad of opportunities that

A Brief History of Brunswick’s Endowment

j

At the turn of the century, George Carmichael, a

teacher from

then coeducational Greenwich Academy, opened Brunswick’s door with $200, relying only on tuition payments to cover expenses. noted that part of Brunswick’s purpose was to “build up an institution of immeasurable power that will continue to live after we are gone and to lead to nobler manhood generation after generation of boys.”

It wasn’t until 1965 that a school endowment was formed with an initial capital investment of $150,000; by 1990 it had reached $800,000. In 1999, the transformation would begin with the launch of the Centennial Campaign. Through campaign contributions and appreciation, the endowment market value had risen to $20.2 million. In conjunction with a $44.6 million long-term bond offering the 104-acre King Street property was purchased in June 1999. Subsequently, in September 2000, the Middle School was opened

A 1914 school catalogue

soon followed by the completion of Sampson Athletic Center.

By 2002—the close of the Centennial Campaign—the endowment reached nearly $52 million.

The Sustaining Tradition Campaign, from 2003–2006, helped grow the endowment to $79 million. A second $17.5 million bond offering enabled the opening of the Lower School in September 2004. Burke Field House followed, as did the construction of ten faculty homes, also on the King Street campus.

By May 2008—mid-way through the third and final campaign called Foundation for the Future, which raised a total of $48 million in cash and pledges—the endowment attained an all-time high of $97.5 million.

This milestone coincided with the renovations of the Upper School on the Maher Avenue campus as well as the unfortunate turn of events in the economy and financial markets. In December 2009, Brunswick made the tactical decision to withdraw $15 million from the endowment to pay down long-term debt. Brunswick’s endowment fared considerably better than its peer institutions during the downturn and had recovered related losses by December 2010. At the close of the last fiscal year, the endowment stood at $83 million.

Brunswick views its endowment net of its long-term debt.

The mere fact that Brunswick School has evolved to today’s top-tier status is a tribute to the foresight, perseverance, and unflagging loyalty of its trustees, parents, alumni, educators, and many friends.

In 1970, in order to prepare young men for the world beyond Brunswick, Headmaster Norm Pedersen began diversifying both the student body and the faculty by launching Brunswick’s first formal scholarship program.

Today, our student body continues to reflect the diversity of the communities that we serve, as well as attract student candidates with unique talents who will serve to further enhance the school and its reputation for excellence in all disciplines.

Financial aid is a key component in our ability to achieve a bright,

Financial Aid

culturally and economically diverse community of students.

Brunswick will award approximately $4.8 million in financial aid in the 2011–2012 academic year to 17%, which is nearly one in six of our student population. Tuition for the 2011–2012 school year ranges from $26,400–$34,500. Fees for books, computers, transportation, class and athletic trips, SAT preparation, academic tutoring, summer enrichment, and athletic uniforms can exceed $5,000 per year per student.

Financial aid is granted on the basis of demonstrated need for tuition and the aforementioned costs.

The average financial aid grant is $29,000. This year, 88 non-faculty and 69 faculty families receive financial assistance. Middle income families (those receiving approximately 75% aid or less) account for 20 of the 88 non-faculty recipients of financial aid.

We currently have 38 endowed financial aid funds, with a market value of $14,275,095 (as of June 30, 2011). With a 4% draw from endowment, those funds generate approximately $460,227 per year, or 10% of our total annual financial aid budget.

Young Man Thrives at Brunswick

One very remarkable and extremely deserving young man

continues to distinguish himself since arriving at Brunswick through the REACH Prep program several years ago. He is currently a freshman and a member of the varsity football team. His eighth grade advisor offers the following comments on this special young man. polite, respectful and motivated, this young man established himself as an asset to our learning environment. He is a kind and endearing boy whose effort and sincerity are found in equal measure with his desire to do well and a keen interest in learning. One thing I quickly realized about Lazare last year was that his quiet presence hides a fierce determination to be the best he can be. As I learned more about Lazare and his successes, from academics to karate to lacrosse, I saw a real competitor. On the field, on the court and in community service, Lazare is a steadfast worker and a real team player. He earned recognition

from his coaches and peers in every sport he played. His name is bandied about among younger middle schoolers as a top athlete, someone to be admired and emulated. In addition, he is as reliable in his behavior and demeanor as he is with his athleticism.

Lazare was recognized in the Middle School closing exercises and received the following commendations: Academic Honor Roll, Effort High Honors, 8th Grade Faculty Citation Book Award, French Book Award, 8th Grade FootballOutstanding Player, 8th Grade Lacrosse-Sportsmanship Award.

It is clear that Lazare is undoubtably on the path for success. Every Brunswick teacher who has had the pleasure of working with him agrees that our School and his peers are inspired by his presence each and every day.

The Honor of Giving to Others

John H.T. Wilson

10

Brunswick 2012

“My father, John H.T. Wilson, was

incredibly humble about his

success,” said Brunswick alumnus Tucker Wilson, Class of 1982. “In his eyes, monetary success wasn’t success; success was his reputation, and what he was able to do at Brunswick. Along with giving away a huge percentage of what he earned over his lifetime, my father was equally as generous with his time. He said it helped him sleep at night. This wisdom, which is shared by my mother, gave me such a powerful perspective on life. One of the greatest gifts my parents imparted was the importance of sharing.”

For decades, the Wilson family has been connected to the Brunswick community. John H.T. Wilson was former Brunswick chairman of the board from 1987–89, and a trustee from 1980–89. His wife, Sandra, was a Middle School English and history teacher from 1984–2000. Tucker attended Brunswick with his brothers—Will ’84 and David ’88—and their sister, Emily, graduated from GA in 1987.

“We were all involved with Brunswick in some way and saw first-hand, what the school has done for other students,” Tucker said.

Upon graduation, Tucker attended Hobart College and majored in Fine Arts. He taught physical education and middle school science at Greenwich Country Day. For five summers he worked at LINK and helped John Booth, Brunswick School chair of the history department and Upper School history teacher, run this renowned program that is designed to provide academic enrichment for

young boys of diverse backgrounds in the Greenwich area. Through rigorous academic exploration, as well as social and athletic interaction, the program can have an enormous impact on the lives of deserving young men. At the end of the program, Tucker and John, along with others involved with LINK, determined which of the boys would have the opportunity to attend Brunswick.

“Working with LINK and helping to give the chance to an education from a school like Brunswick was my honor,” Tucker said.

His father, John H.T. Wilson, was a senior director at Morgan Stanley for 33 years. He served in many capacities through the years there, including head of the Financial Institutions Group and co-head of the Investment Banking Division.

“Growing up, we had many advantages, but my father always gave us the impression that we were poor,” Tucker said. “He told us that anything—a car, a vacation, a

home—could all go away tomorrow, and that basically you have to be happy to live in a cardboard box.”

After Mr. Wilson passed away in August 2010, members of his family established the Sandra & John H.T. Wilson Scholarship Fund at Brunswick to help deserving young men in their quest for academic excellence.

The Wilson family’s contribution to Brunswick will also benefit faculty housing.

“Greenwich and Fairfield County are difficult places to afford and it’s important we continue to attract the very best teachers,” Tucker continued.

“Providing homes in the community is another way to help sustain the quality of a Brunswick education.”

“I know times are tough, but this is the time when it is most important to give back. We shouldn’t just harbor what we have, we should share it,” he said. “Put the large purchases aside for the year and think about helping a boy have the opportunity to attend Brunswick.”

“This spirit of generosity was instilled in me by my mother and father,” Tucker concluded. “Giving back in good times, and in bad times especially, is when you see the true measure of people. It is the time when communities come together. We are happy to be able to give other deserving students the opportunity to have a great education at a school like Brunswick.”

Brunswick Scholar Heads to College

David Jaramillo, Now in his freshman year at Harvard College, began

his Brunswick career as a sixth grader. From his first

day at Brunswick, it was apparent to teachers that this highly engaged and intellectually gifted student had a natural curiosity that would benefit from the School’s varied and rigorous curriculum. Over the years, advisors and teachers have consistently reported that David earned top grades and the highest effort marks in all of his academic pursuits. To some of his peers, this impressive young man has served as a resource and an approachable, non judgmental, as well as patient tutor. He makes the most of every opportunity while always finding a way to give back. A community service project David spearheaded called So Far (Saving Our Rain Forests and Reefs) assists in preservation. He has raised $15,000 over a three-year period to help preserve 35 acres of rainforest in Costa Rica. A wellrounded young man, David had been a member of Brunswick’s Student Government, and participated on track, football and basketball teams during his Brunswick years.

There are many similarly deserving and successful students who benefit tremendously from our financial aid resources and the income from the School’s endowment fund.

Today, having the ability to provide financial aid is an integral part of Brunswick’s mission.

Brunswick 2012

“It’s very difficult to adequately represent my Brunswick experience in a few sentences.

However, the one aspect that truly stands out and that perhaps best exemplifies Brunswick is the fact that I never had to limit my intellectual curiosity due to financial reasons. Even for summer programs that Brunswick was not affiliated with, such as a pre-college program in University of Pennsylvania, I—almost effortlessly—found people eager to help and make my wishful plans become reality. Aside from the excellent and rigorous education, Brunswick taught me to be persistent and to never be afraid to ask for aid in order to achieve personal goals.”

Housing

j

for Faculty

“Living in faculty housing has been a great opportunity for our family to interact more often with other Brunswick faculty families. We are privileged to have access to the school’s facilities and attend school functions on the weekends, which make it enjoyable for us to be more involved in the community and see more students outside of our daily school setting. If this opportunity were not afforded to us, I am quite certain we would not be living in Greenwich. We are so appreciative and have made the most of this blessing. Our son loves the campus that we live on and certainly my wife and I do as well.”

—Jarrett Shine, Director of Alumni Relations, Head Football Coach, with wife Kyna, and their son Landon, age 3

Brunswick 2012

housing for our Faculty has always been a

paramount concern

for Brunswick School. Having affordable housing available to retain and attract the very best faculty possible is, has been, and always will be a key determinant to the overall success of the School. The high cost of living in Greenwich and surrounding towns makes finding acceptable housing a near-impossibility for many educators. For those faculty members with children, this is a vital component of family security. Teachers residing in local school housing often cite the extended time available to them.

We continually monitor real estate opportunities in geographic proximity to our Maher Avenue and King Street campuses. All full-time Brunswick employees are eligible for housing.

Brunswick’s reputation and quality will always be judged by the character of the boys the school graduates and by the strength of the faculty and staff.

These teachers and administrators are the heart and soul of Brunswick.

Their proximity to the School campus greatly facilitates the ability to be able to work with students before and after school hours, as well as attend athletics events and arts programs.

“Having the opportunity to live in faculty housing for the past several years has been an incredible experience for our family.

More than anything else, living on campus—in this house—has made us feel like part of a healthy, caring community, a place in which our neighbors and their children have quickly become some of our family’s closest friends. We could not have imagined a better environment in which to raise our sons.”

—Brendan Gilsenan, Chairman, Upper School English, with wife Kim,Speech & Language Specialist, PreSchool, and sons Keegan, 3rd grade and Riley, 1st grade

Nearly

50% of Full-time faculty members currently reside in housing offered by brunswick

as the result of the recent purchase of Sherwood Place.

“Faculty housing has given us the opportunity to raise our boys in a wonderful house surrounded by a fantastic community. We love our house and have developed a nice bond with the other Brunswick families living in our community on Riversville Road. The proximity to both campuses allows us to stay connected to what is going on in Brunswick life. We look forward to many more happy years living and working in the Brunswick community.”

Language Immersion Program

Brunswick faculty seek to broaden and

enrich students’

experiences—along with their understanding of the world and themselves—by encompassing a new immersion component to our excellent language curriculum. Foreign Language Immersion Program (FLIP) will support cultural and language immersion travel opportunities abroad by providing financial resources for any student with demonstrated need. Prior trips typically lasting four-weeks and including a home-stay with a family to France, Italy, China, Egypt, Greece and Spain have been transformative for students’ language acquisition and appreciation of foreign cultures. To launch and fully-fund this new initiative will require a $3 million endowment.

Proceeds from two of last year’s Brunswick Parent Association (BPA) events—the Fashion Show and Golf Outing—have been designated to FLIP.

The initiative is being augmented with state-of-the art laboratories and equipment, along with science electives—primarily investigation-based—that include Molecular Genetics/Microbiology; Forensic Science; and Microbes, Plagues and Human Diseases. Students will be encouraged to focus on completion of an original science project over the course of two years. By employing innovative laboratory techniques and learning the process of writing scientific papers for publication, the goal will be to participate in such prestigious pre-college science competitions as Intel Science Talent Search.

focuses on both preparing students for admission to the nation’s most competitive colleges and universities, and a lifetime of engaged learning in our complex and interconnected world.

Overcoming many challenges

throughout its 110-year history— including two devastating fires and a number of financial difficulties— Brunswick has been blessed with loyal and generous supporters dedicated to protecting the distinguished school for future generations.

As increasing enrollment created crowded classrooms and playing fields, Brunswick sought a major expansion in 1998. The 104-acre site on King Street was critical in solving the severe space limitations of the 13-acre central Greenwich location.

Edwards Campus on King Street features the Lower and Middle Schools, expansive athletic fields and facilities, in addition to a close-knit community of ten faculty homes.

The Upper School on Maher Avenue remains conveniently situated near sister school Greenwich Academy and facilitates the coordinate program. The Preschool, located next to the Maher Avenue campus, offers PreK and Kindergarten boys close proximity to their Upper School big brother role models who have English classes in the Preschool building.
