This week: The 1982/3: Unit Trust Investor of the Year Award
It has been a bumper year for the Competition as world stockmarkets reached all-time peaks, so the front runners are likely to have achieved gains of at least 80 per cent. However, it has been an extremely tight finish and the result won't be known until the very last minute.
The winner will receive a cut-glass piggy bank created specially for the event by Wedgwood Glass, and the Chairman of the Unit Trust Association will be on hand to discuss the formula for successful investment.
Don't forget the 1983/4 Competition is now open. Details from Money Box, [address removed]
