Where can I put my children's money?

madra

Hi, I need some advice about where to invest the money my children inherited from their grandfather. They both have 10K each and his Will stipulated that the money should be given to them when they are 21, which means that I can invest it over, say, a five year period. The money is sitting in an executor account at Barclays at the moment, doing nothing! Clearly, I want to make sure that wherever I put their money it will be safe. I also feel as their father and executor of the Will I am duty bound to make sure their money is invested wisely. Can anyone offer me some sound advice?
