Currency and Stanlib Asset Management are giving one reader the opportunity to accelerate their financial journey with a prize that goes beyond the traditional competition giveaway. Instead of vouchers or short-lived rewards, this prize is designed to build lasting value: a R10,000 investment into a Stanlib unit trust account.
The competition underscores Currency’s focus on practical financial tools that empower readers to take meaningful steps towards building wealth. A unit trust provides access to a diversified portfolio managed by investment professionals – an ideal entry point for those starting out, or a boost for readers already on their investment path.
To enter, readers simply need to subscribe to Currency’s website. The winner will be announced at the close of the campaign (October 22) with the account set up and seeded on their behalf.
It’s a prize designed not just to reward, but to build your personal currency – offering one reader the chance to see their money work for them, and to turn R10,000 into the beginning of a longer-term investment story.
