Benjamin Sarpong, born to Desmond Kumi, a public servant, and Matilda Kumi, is a young entrepreneur who trades in forex for a living.
According to him, his startup, Lofty Forex Traders Training Institute, is focused on educating people on how to engage in forex trading, as well as stocks and real estate.
Delving into how it all started, Benjamin explains that he once signed up for a forex course, and upon conclusion, realized that he still needed the skills to become a profitable trader.
He, therefore, took it upon himself to build a strategy and thereafter test it, to determine its profitability.

Benjamin then set up the Institute to train others on trading strategies that would help one to generate income. Presently, the course is a six-month programme.
Lofty Forex Traders Training Institute is designed to teach people strategies to generate an additional source of income. It also has training schedules for those who wish to generate a mainstream income for themselves.
Benjamin again revealed that the Institute is on a mission to expand to all African countries.

A major project, he reveals, is a strategy to organize seminars to educate attendees on the benefits of forex trading, as there is a widespread claim that it is a scam.
The entrepreneur employs the bootstrap strategy to fund his business, and in doing so, has come to realise that there is a lot of work to be done to create the needed awareness about the Institute and forex in general.
In the next five years, Benjamin is convinced Lofty Forex Traders Training Institute will be the business to look out for when you want to learn how to make money in the financial market.

He cautioned that it is important Ghanaians gear their minds towards reaching out to as many people as possible to venture into the forex market. This, he believes, would help to drastically reduce Ghana’s unemployment rate.
The information available suggests that in Japan, most housewives trade in forex, making an estimated $80,000 a year.
The Institute, he went on, is determined to ensure that it is well-positioned to build a profitable strategy, with which it would approach its target market.
