My advice would be to try and diversify to whatever extent you can. Split the £10k into a portion which can be low / risk free, i.e a good quality corporate / government bond or a savings account. For the equity portion, invest in ETFs which are Exchange Traded Funds. They offer diversification on the market and aim to recreate index returns. They are higher risk than bonds, so consider your risk appetite when investing. ISAs are also a good way of investing. A maxi ISA has 7K limit a year and you can invest in fund through them. Good luck.

There really isn't any good investments that are safe. The stock market is really unsteady, up and down. I think the real estate market is good in some areas of the US, but I do not know where you live. We bought a house in a smaller town in Calif., between San Francisco, and L.A., for $80,000 9 yrs ago, and is now worth $350,000. The market is slowing down a bit, so now might be good. You would have to get in the general area, but maybe a smaller home, for a rental, and keep it until it appreciates. Some states do not appreciate at all, so Calif., is the only one I know about, since I live here. Texas does not appreciate very much, and so many others. You have to do research on this. I am not sure how much money you have either, is it $10,000 dollars, or something else. I made over $100,000 in the stock market during the Clinton Administration, in Microsoft, but those days are over.

Shares in companies that are doing really well. If you invest it in a bank with a 5% interest rate then you would recieve £500 in a year. You could also buy premium bonds, it's not gambling because you can sell them if you don't want them anymore. You could win up to 1 million pounds.

Buy £10,000 worth of Premium Bonds from National Savings. With 10,000 bonds I would think you would win many prizes over 12 months. Any of these prizes would greatly outstrip any ISA or savings account.

Depends on how much risk you want to take. If you want low risk try a bond. If you want no risk try a fixed saving term. If you want a medium risk there are high interest bonds but the value may go down.
