Best way to invest 500-1000??

Options
Hello

I am looking to invest only 500 - 1000 pounds.

I would like this money to be invested in a high risk fund / way? Is shares the best way to do this? I dont like the way every trade is £12.

Are there any other unit trusts or anything people recommend that are high risk for this small amount?

many thanks

    A unit trust bought through almost any of the discount brokers will have no initial charge if that's what's important to you. Have you any more specific ideas about what are you would like to invest in?
