Pay off my mortgage! A £100,000 mortgage over 25 years would cost you about £190,000 so by paying it off you would be £90,000 up!
But saying that I would stay from property as an investment - stocks (LSE) consistantly out perform property as an investment in the long run.
RE. Investing abroad ........ all the good places have been taken & each time a new Eastern Coutry (the touristy ones & not the war-torn ones) starts to open-up, investors flock there to make quick cash - again, No!
Uganda ...... not a good or ethical place to invest money unless you know exactly who is looking after you money and what its being used for!
Start you own business - unless that's something you have always wanted to do and know what you niche or USP would be then that's another No-No.
How risk averse are you?
LSE (London Stock Exchange) is you are up for a bit of a risk - see a IFA.
Managed Mixed Fund - less risk . see IFA
ISA - definately put some in an ISA(s)
10% at Halifax etc ....... there are some brilliant %'s being offereed by some banks at the moment.
Low risk - spread it about so if one thing goes wrong, you'll still have money eslewhere.
Avoid anything that looks too good to be true!

Depends on the size of the economy of the country u live in or where u wanna invest. In Uganda u could probably start a small bank with that or even a fully fledged health club complex with maybe a three star hotel attached!!

I would invest in commercial property in Dallas, TX. Both coasts of the U.S. have seen a real estate bubble. The central market has much room to grow and is giving excellent ROI right now. You should be able to attain a 20-25% cash-on-cash ROI with the right commercial property. Also much of it can be tax-free. I'm a dual citizen of the U.K. and U.S. and am familiar with the intracacies of investing offshore for U.K. citizens.

PROPERTY.The markets booming at the moment and is not only a good investment but a nice pension as well. Just be sure you buy the right property so you can maybe buy cheap do it up sell it on or rent it out.

in my opinion i have to go in to ways the first way is to invest the 50% of the amount in the stock market & the other 50 % in the gold trade because what happen around the world will make the gold price going up

Property, probably in another country - Bulgaria seems to be a good investment at present.

Probably a mix of ETFs, bonds, preferably short bonds (which are paying off much better than bunds are right now), value plays in stocks, and commodity contract futures. Vary the allocation depending on your particular risk tolerance, of course, though.

If I had 100000 sterling pound I would give the money to a hedge fund and watch it grow. The hedge fund must have good hedge fund mangers like Steve Cohen,T. Pickens, and others.

Sierra leone is the best place you can invest and make maximum profit in return.
