选项：

A.Everett’s education

B.Marshall’s trust

C.University endowment

解释：

Solution

A is correct. Both of the funds planned for the trust and university endowment represent an imminent need (immediate for the trust and within two years for the endowment). The funding needed for education, however, extends over the longest time horizon, possibly as long as 8 to 10 years. Thus, its sub-portfolio would be in the best position to take on the greatest risk.

B is incorrect. Although the special needs trust for Marshall will provide benefits for his entire life, and therefore has a long-time horizon, from Lennon’s perspective it requires immediate funding and should be very liquid and bear little risk.

C is incorrect. Funding of the university endowment involves a short-term time horizon (within two years) so it should bear little risk.
