  • The UT Story: Humble Beginnings – Vol 1 (Hardcover)

    How does an Army Captain who failed to obtain a ₵20 million (about $20,000) loan from the banks, set up a successful finance house and cause such a monumental paradigm shift to the lending culture of a country?

    Capt. Prince Kofi Amoabeng(Rtd) defied the odds to found Unique Trust Financial Services Limited, which was later rebranded to UT Financial Services Limited and metamorphosed into a Bank (UT Bank) under the UT Holdings Umbrella together with subsidiaries in Germany, South Africa and Nigeria.

    In this first instalment of a series of memoirs, PK, as he was affectionately called by his fiercely loyal and dedicated team, shares an inspiring, in-depth, no-holds-barred, behind the scenes, unabashed account of how and what made UT a household name and impacted so many lives.

    Written with George Bentum Essiaw, a tenacious, talented writer and filmmaker, The UT Story: Humble Beginnings is replete with profound lessons in entrepreneurship and leadership, employing an effective mixture of orthodox and unorthodox methods grounded firmly in time-tested military principles.

    Whatever your background or occupation, this book will fascinate and inspire you to dare.

  • The UT Story: Building A Winning Team – Volume 2 (Hardcover)

    *Available from 23rd February
    In this second instalment of Capt. Prince Kofi Amoabeng’s (Rtd) memoirs, he discusses in painstaking detail, how he led his team to consolidate the gains made in the early days. He also dwells on how he established a unique corporate culture mainly through leading by example, and how essential that corporate culture was to the sustenance and growth of the business.

  • A Roof Over One’s Head: A Beginner’s Guide to Real Estate Wealth Creation

    If you’ve ever been interested in Real Estate investing, it is difficult not to notice the lack of practical information around the subject, especially in our part of the world.

    Of course, there are real estate books worldwide, but most of these are not location-specific and some of the advice is simply inapplicable to relative to our reality.

    I wrote this book so that Ghanaians and Africans, for that matter, will have information that speaks to our experiences with building and acquiring property to make a profit and in our collective quest towards bridging the housing gap on our continent.

    This book teaches how to:

    • Invest in Real Estate
    • Identify Profitable Property
    • Finance your Investments
    • Add value to your property
    • Create wealth through Smart Property Management

  • Start Right: A Guide to Financial Investments in Ghana

    This book, Start Right – A guide to financial Investments in Ghana is what I would refer to as a holistic Investment manual for any business leader, entrepreneur, investment banker and all who aspire to create and sustain their wealth.

    It covers the entire landscape of Investments, taking you through a journey of appreciating, understanding and beginning your resolve to a wealthy future. It unravels the intricacies of Investments that is shrouded in perceived complexity and mystery. Its language is basic to the very understanding of new investors, while tackling all relevant branches of the investing process, appealing as well to the professional and sophisticated minds. It adequately tackles and answers vital questions, such as:

    • How can I invest
    • Where can I invest
    • Which Investment instruments are good for me
    • What returns do I expect
    • What risks am I exposed to and how can I mitigate them
    • Who can help me make my Investment choices…

    The author takes pains to illustrate to the reader on the operations of the Capital and Money Markets and the dynamics of their operations. I recommend this book to the novice and sophisticated investor, entrepreneurs, Investment bankers, students and all who desire to create sustainable wealth for themselves and generations behind them.

  • Fate of System Thinking: Lessons for Decision Optimisation – Stories from UT Bank, Capital Bank and UniBank

    With a history of over a century, the banking industry in Ghana has had periods of financial distress and has had to deal with the persistent problem of lack of financing for indigenous businesses.

    UT Bank developed a business model that sought to solve the problem of lack of finance for the informal sector. The UT approach became a model for many other financial institutions. The liquidation of UT Bank and Capital Bank as well as the appointment of an administrator for uniBank signal significant problems worth exploring. Banking serves as the foundational industry for building an economy, thus the banking challenges unearth a far bigger challenge in the dynamics of our economy. Until we have fully understood what the issues are, we are unlikely to identify what the solutions should be.

    The author is convinced that the world needs to appreciate the causes of the collapse of these institutions so as to stop fiddling with the symptoms and the demonization without knowledge of cause. This book shares the author’s personal experience and lessons from working with both UT Bank and Capital Bank. He is a financial services educator and has a good understanding of indigenous enterprises. The lessons are intended to revolutionize the way businesses are organized and how individuals approach decision making. The book will help organisations build stronger, sustainable, diverse and more effective systems from the ashes of UT Bank, Capital Bank and uniBank.

  • Creating Wealth and Enjoying it

    Having worked in the financial sector for quite a while, I have seen and noticed the lifestyle changes in different categories of people.
    I have observed with great admiration some groups of people who in their old age and during their retirement maintain a dignified standard of living, all things being equal.
    I have also come across another category of people who have struggled financially after retirement with a deteriorated standard of living, under normal circumstances.
     I have been particularly perturbed about the affluent lifestyles of some people who have had negative financial changes during the latter part of their lives and have thought that if perhaps,  they had  information and understanding of some truths about  Financial  Planning and Wealth Creation, it would have made some difference in their lives.
    This book “How to Create Wealth and Enjoy it” is aimed at creating awareness and providing information on how one can plan and do simple things which will make a difference in their finances later on in life. I believe the information in this book will be beneficial to anyone who reads it especially those who earn salary.
