National Bank Direct Brokerage Offers Do-It-Yourself Investors an Educational and Lucrative Challenge

T.NA

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 will receive $2,500. In addition, the participant with the highest portfolio return each week will win $500.

To sign up for free, and obtain more information about the contest, go to the Biggest Winner website and select the language of your choice. Please note that participants may enter the competition at any time.
