Mr. Akpafu-lolobi is 55 years of age, is in excellent health, pursues a simple but active lifestyle, and has three children. He has interest in a private company for GH¢50 million and has decided that his children will receive half the proceeds now and will be the primary beneficiary of his estate upon his death. Mr. Akpafu-lolobi is committed to the well-being of his family because he believes strongly that, through the financial stability of his children, other facilities are going to be affected positively. He now realizes that an appropriate investment policy and asset allocations are required if his goals are to be met through investment of his considerable assets. Currently, the following assets are available for use in building an appropriate portfolio for him: Assets                                                         Amount Cash                                                    GH¢ 45 million GCB shares                                          GH¢ 10 million Shops for rental                                  GH¢ 9 million Residence                                           GH¢ 1 million Total                                                   GH¢ 65 million a. Formulate and justify an investment policy statement setting forth the appropriate guidelines within which future investment actions should take place.
