Telegraph Newspaper Fund Picker Competition - £7200 prize / £1000 bonus prize

munk

Hi all,

The telegraph have just had an article in the Sunday paper entitled 'Pick the purrfect funds to win a £7200 treat' - there's a link to it here:

WIN the 2008/9 Isa Allowance of £7,200

It's a competition sponsored by Hargreaves Lansdown (HL) to pick 5 funds from the HL Wealth 150 list before 1st October 2007 which you think will perform the best between now and April 2008. Whoever wins gets a prize of £7200 and there's also a bonus of £1000 for the best performing portfolio on 24th December 2007.

Choose the five funds that will beat the rest and you could win £7,200.

Try your hand at the telegraph.co.uk Win an Isa competition to find out whether you have what it takes to beat the market. Up for grabs is next year's Isa allowance, £7,200, for you to invest in an Isa, Sipp or Fund account through Hargreaves Lansdown, one of the UK's leading investment brokers. There will also be a bonus prize of £1,000 for the top portfolio on Christmas Eve.

I liked the article in the Sunday Telegraph though - apparently a cat called Jasper managed to beat a stockbroker and a novice investor by picking stock at random (well, ok, the cat probably had some cunning method we're obviously not clever enough to understand yet :P). Excellent. I might well let my cat loose on this competition. Cue new thread next April entitled 'What portfolio for my cat's £7200 ISA?'
