A novel graft polymer useful in various uses that has a polyolefin
backbone having polyolefin segments excellent in moldability can be
obtained by homopolymerizing a novel polyolefin macromonomer or
polymerizing the novel polyolefin macromonomer in the coexistence of
other olefins depending on need, wherein the macromonomer has at the
terminal of its polyolefin chain a vinyl group whose .alpha.-position may
be substituted, and the macromonomer can be efficiently obtained by a
method, for example, successively carrying out i) a step of producing a
polyolefin having a hydroxyl group at the terminal of the polyolefin
chain and ii) a step of converting the terminal hydroxyl group of the
polyolefin in chain into an acryloyl group, a methacryloyl group or a
styryl group.
