Construct an Investment Policy Statement (IPS) for an individual.  Recall that the basic IPS outline

consists of return and risk objectives and constraints.  We will examine a hypothetical investor and

try to construct an IPS for this individual.  The IPS is a valuable process for both the client and

portfolio manager.  The IPS must be consistent with the individual’s objectives and constraints. 

Therefore, it is an important communication tool that helps ensure the client and manager are aware

of the specific needs and constraints of the client. 

Sue Smith is 65 years old and is mentally well, but physically suffering from a degenerative disease. 

Unfortunately, she is expects to live for only a few more years.  Sue’s major expenses are related to

medical expenses.  She no longer goes out and therefore her other expenses are small and

predictable.  She also likes to contribute to charities and provide gifts to her son, George, and his

family with any excess income.  George Smith is 45 years old and married.  Sue Smith describes

George as somewhat irresponsible but a good father, husband, and son.  Sue grew up with stories

of the Depression from her parents and therefore has a very conservative investment perspective. 

George Smith is currently unemployed and helps out around the house looking after three children. 

Two of his children are in high school preparing for college and his oldest son is in college.  His wife

is also unemployed and is a homemaker.  George is an aggressive investor and believes investors

can double their money every five to six years.  In addition to helping his children finance college, he

hopes to give them money to start up their own businesses after college.  George Smith and his

family currently live on $100,000 of income after taxes.  This income is primarily from investment

income from wealth inherited when George’s father passed away and gifts from his mother Sue. 

George is seeking investment advice to increase his portfolio wealth so that he is less dependent on

his mother. The following two exhibits summarize the current financial positions of Sue Smith and

George Smith.  In addition to the information in Table 2.2, George Smith has an additional $250,000

that is not listed under cash, that he wants to invest as well.
