The winner of the World Top Investor Competition will get to be portfolio manager for a year of an investment fund of USD 250,000.

The prize for the top investor will be the management of a fund with an investment value of USD 250,000.

Consistent with the objective of the competition, we feel confident the mandate of a USD 250,000 fund is the appropriate award. We are seeking that top investor who will be able to guide the fund with long-term performance. We will offer the manager of the fund 50% of the performance each month. Of equal importance, in order to maintain the integrity and objective of the fund, we will not allow any drawdown to exceed 20%. If the fund's performance in any time period falls below 20%, Saxo Bank will close down the fund and assume management of the assets.

When the winner of the 2007-2008 World TopInvestor Competition is recognized on 19 February 2008, Saxo Bank will exercise its best judgment in setting leverage guidelines for the fund's management.

Wait until February 2008 and you will be able to be introduced to the World Top Investor. Wouldn't it be smarter to select your portfolio manager based on performance rather than a fancy sales pitch?
