Mr. Franklin is 70 years of age, is in excellent health, pursues a simple but active

lifestyle, and has no children. He has interest in a private company for $90 million and

has decided that a medical research foundation will receive half the proceeds now and

will be the primary beneficiary of his estate upon his death. Mr. Franklin is committed to

the foundation's well-being because he believes strongly that, through it, a cure will be

found for the disease that killed his wife. 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: $45.0 million cash (from sale of the private company

interest, net of a $45 million gift to the foundation) $10.0 million stocks and bonds ($5

million each) $ 9.0 million warehouse property (now fully leased) $ 1.0 million value of

his residence $65.0 million total available assets.
