David Shapiro’s Cristal Challenge 2022 winners announced

David Shapiro’s Cristal Challenge 2022 stock-picking competition winners are Herman Lloyd, Charles Gordon, and Chad Crouch.

Shapiro started the Cristal challenge in 2021 as a fun and exciting way to encourage South African stock market participation.

David initially started with ten players and has grown the challenge to 77 participants this year as the popularity of the competition grew.

Each participant picks five stocks, and their performance is tracked over the year. The winners are selected based on the return of their 5-stock portfolio by 1 December.

Many well-known media personalities, fund managers, analysts, and investors entered the 2022 Cristal Challenge.

Participants included big names like Piet Viljoen, Greg Katzenellenbogen, Giulietta Talevi, Keith McLachlan, Nick Kunze, Simon Brown, and – of course – David Shapiro.

The winner of the Cristal Challenge 2022 was Herman Lloyd, who picked Anglogold, EOH, Harmony, Prosus, and Thungela.

Charles Gordon finished second with his selection of Growthpoint, Nedbank, PPC, Steinhoff, and Thungela.

Chad Crouch finished third with City Lodge, Grindrod, Kumba, Spar, and Stefanutti.

Nick Kunze was the only participant who pick five stocks which all produced positive returns – AB Inbev, AVI, Multichoice, Sibanye, and Tiger Brands.

Last year’s winner, Betsie Schaap, had another strong performance by finishing fifth with her picks of African Rainbow Capital, Purple Group, Renergen, Steinhoff, and Thungela.
