2020 FTSE 100 Competition

Who knows what will happen to the stock market next?  You can be seen to be the investment guru in this fun competition.  How will it react to Covid-19?  Will oil prices recover?  What effect will Brexit have?  Will Commercial Property suffer as retail stays online?  Who knows but join our competition and you decide.

The Rotary Club of West Fife FTSE 100 Competition 2020
(a fund raising idea successfully inaugurated in 2007 by founding member Cliff Mackenzie)

1. We invite you to test your vision and prediction skills in a competition based on the FTSE 100 listing, over a three month period.  This competition is open to all.

2. The competition will run for a period of three months from the first trading day of July 2020 until the close of market on the last trading day of September 2020.  

3. The entrance fee is £10, preferably by bank transfer but by cheque if preferred.  See Entry Form. FTSE_Entry_Form_2020_Final_1.xls

4. Each competitor will be given a notional £50,000 to invest in any company or companies within the FTSE 100 listing.  Entrants have to invest the full £50,000 into shares but where that is not possible due to the share price/number of shares purchased, the residual must be less than £10.  No trading is allowed during the competition.

5. An electronic entry form must be submitted for each entrant.  

This will show the price per share for each of the companies in the “FTSE 100 Listing” as at 7th June 2020 which will be the buying price.

6. To complete the entry form, enter:
A. Your Name and email address.
B. Name you wish displayed in weekly results update.
C. The number of shares to be bought in each company.

[The program will automatically calculate and display the total sum invested, but should not exceed £50,000.]  If a one or more company falls out of the FTSE 100 it will be treated as if it were still in the FTSE 100.  No account will be taken of dividends, only share valuations.

7 Entries must be completed and forwarded to FTSE100@rcwf.co.uk  by Friday 26th June 2020.  

Once selections are made no change can be made to your portfolio.

8 Prizes will be awarded to the contestants who have made the highest gain over the period or in the event of there being no gain the least loss will deemed to be the winner.  The ‘wooden spoon’ will go to the contestant who has shown the lowest gain or the greatest loss over the period [whichever is appropriate].

1st prize         £250
2nd prize £150
3rd prize £ 75
4th prize £ 25
Wooden Spoon…...Bottle of malt whisky
