2021 Stock Picking Charity Challenge

 

Can you predict the winners for 2021?

Simply select 5 ASX listed companies that you think will be the best performers in 2021.
Submit your entry and at the end of January 2022, the virtual portfolio with the highest value wins a $500 donation to a charity of your choice!

HOW IT WORKS

You have a starting virtual balance of $100,000 to invest.
Select your 5 ASX listed companies and we will ‘virtually invest’ $20,000 into each company.
On 31 January 2022, at 4pm (ASX close of trade), we will calculate what your 5 investments are worth from their starting $100,000. The person with the highest virtual balance wins first prize.
For all other participants, if your virtual balance exceeds the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index, you win a prize of $50 to a charity of your choice.

CONTEST DATES

REGISTRATION OPENS – 1 February 2021
REGISTRATION CLOSES – 12 February 2021
END DATE BALANCE – 31 January 2022 4pm

Winners will be announced early February 2022.

PRIZE/S

HOW TO PLAY
