FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

 

Can I enter the competition more than once?

• No, investors are restricted to one entry each.
• Submissions will be monitored closely to ensure that this rule is followed.
• If it is discovered that an entrant knowingly submits more than one entry, they will be disqualified.
• Entrants who mistakenly enter the competition more than once should contact team@curranfutures to have the problem fixed.

What about if I want to enter for myself and for a charity?

• I’m afraid not. If you wish to enter on behalf of a charity, we recommend you find a family member or friend willing to represent them!

How do I select the charity I wish to donate to?

• We have included an option on the Registration Form, simply insert your chosen charity

Does it have to be a registered charity?

• No. If you want to donate to your GAA club, school or other community organisation, just put their name in.

What age to I have to be to play?

• You can be 16 to play, We want budding young investors to enjoy the game

If I make a mistake in my portfolio selection, can I change it?

• Yes, once you inform us before 5pm on 7^th May. No alterations are allowed after that time.

Can I change my portfolio during the investment period?

• Maybe. Pay attention to the competition page and social media postings!

Can I research the underlying investment funds?

• Yes. We have chosen fully transparent ‘indexes’ to represent the various funds available.
• Our ‘Investor Information Page’ has information on all the funds, and links to external sources should you wish to go even further!

Why are there so many equity funds?

• Because we wanted to ensure the greatest chance of movement in fund & portfolio values.
• Equities tend to be the most volatile type of investment, and we have chosen them for that reason. If you are feeling more conservative, you could always put 30% of your portfolio in cash!

Which fund is likely to do the best?

• Thats the €300 question! If you go into the ‘Investor Information Page’ you can see the performance of the various funds over the last year, so that will give you an idea of how they have done.
• But of course, that’s no indication of how they will do (you know the saying – ‘Past Performance is no indicator of Future Outcomes’). For that we recommend a crystal ball!
• Follow us on Social Media @curranfutures to keep up to date with investor tips

How are the portfolios valued?

• All the underlying funds have a value on the opening day.
• Changes to this value are reflected as an increase or decrease in your own fund.
• The ‘weighting’ of each fund will determine the overall impact of individual fund changes on the portfolio.

How often are the funds & portfolios valued?

• Funds will be valued daily (Mon – Fri) at 5pm

 Where can I find out how my fund is performing?

• Once the underlying funds are valued at 5pm, we will update every investor’s portfolio to reflect these changes.
• This will then feed through to the COMPETITION LEAGUE TABLE.
• We will also post the top 20 positions onto our social media channels

Will I receive any other communication?

• Yes. On Tuesdays and Fridays we will send out the league tables in an email to all competitors.
