**The Rehab Foundation’s Great Investment Race has raised nearly €183,000 for the
charity. The race, which involves investment companies competing with each other
buying and selling shares, was won by Oppenheim Investment Managers.**

Devised and organised by Rehab Lotteries, the Rehab Great Investment Race has, since
its inception in 2001, raised in excess of **€700,000** for autistic children and
their families in Ireland. At the launch of the fourth Rehab Great Investment Race
in November 2005, each of the six race participants were presented with a cheque
for €100,000 to invest as they wished in the stockmarket.

The overall profit from this year’s race was €82,943 – representing a very impressive
30.5 per cent gain on an initial investment allocation of €100,000. In addition 
to Oppenheim Investment Manager, participants in this year’s race included Bank 
of Ireland Asset Management (BIAM), winners of both the second and third investment
races; AIB Investment Managers; Irish Life Investment Managers; Setanta Asset Management
and Hibernian Investment Managers, winners of the very first investment race.
