Investing 15k?

[Liam79]

I have been left around 15k off a relative who passed away. I was lookIng for some advice as what sort of bank and ISA etc to invest it in.
I don't need the money urgently but would be nice to have access to it in an emergency etc.
Basically just looking for some advice. Thanks.

Have a look at the self-select fund ISA's at www.h-l.co.uk

Lots of different fund investments to to choose from and you are free to spread it about

Don't work there by the way but happy with the service I have received so far

If I had a spare £15k that I wasn't going to spend on metal and fuel I'd purchase Premium Bonds. Good rate of return, in with a chance to win the million and nearly instant access. Downside of course is inflation.

TBH it's quite terrible at the moment - though that hasn't stopped me from putting some emergency cash on the off-chance ..

The return on Premium bonds is a joke tbh. If you owned every single premium bond that has been issued, therefore netting you the full prize fund every month, your return would only be 1.5% and the chance of any single bond winning the million pound top prize is 42 billion to 1.

But if you are into the whole 'safe gamble' thing, stick it in the best savings account you can find and then using some, or all of the interest, buy lottery tickets. (statistically better odds than premium bonds - almost a dead cert. at just 14 million to 1, plus the jackpot is usually much more than 1 million!)

Tell that to a close relation of mine with £20k invested and his nearly double, not insubstantial, wins on what seems like most months. But I agree, due to the nature of the beast, that will be creating no wins for many others. Pays your money....
