100,000 k to invest

Hi People,

Just asking this question on behalf of a friend.

What is the best way to invest this amount of money. Where to invest it? how much? what are the interest rates etc....

All your help would be great, as this is a very important decision for the person involved!!
Cheers Petchy

    After an in-depth 3 hour interview with your friend taking carefull account of the attitude to risk, duration, status, credit history, level of debt, pension arrangements, children, psychological analysis and medcal history and past life hypnosis regression I can conclude that your friend should stick it on the 100/1 @ 3:30 at cheapstow - at your own risk of course...

    Or your could give us some more detail...

    what kinda of risk are and returns are we talking about.

    no risk savings account you will get 5% annually

    stocks and shares/investment trust etc

    10 - 20% with minimal risk

    40 + with a lot of risk

    Basically no risk.

    What would be the best accounts to put the money in, i.e. £3,000 in isa, £20,000 in a certain bond etc etc.

    Think she is looking to get the interest on the money on a yearly period
