MONTREAL, May 20, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - For the second year in a row,
National Bank Direct Brokerage (NBDB) will be acting as an exclusive
sponsor of the Biggest Winner contest, presented by Horizons Exchange Traded Funds.
Between May 20 and June 27, 2014, participants will have to grow a
$100,000 fantasy portfolio of exchange-traded funds (ETF).
"ETFs are increasingly popular with investors, and this simulation
provides an excellent opportunity to find out more about them. Using
simulations is also a risk-free way for those who want to test out
their investment skills. If you want to be even more prepared, NBDB
offers seminars and webinars on different types of investments,
including ETFs," explained National Bank Direct Brokerage President,
Nancy Paquet.
The participant with the highest yielding portfolio at the end of the
six-week period will be awarded a cash prize of $7,500. The runner-up
