Investment advice

Hi Guys,
I am looking for some advice on how to use funds of around 10k to make a good return. I currently have money in an investment which should pay out a fixed 30% return within one year, however, i am looking to distribute money and perhaps invest elsewhere, maybe just invest a few grand here and there. I am interested in buying shares as well as other investment schemes, and i am just wondering what you would advice? Financially i am very stable and this 10k is purely for investing at this time- however, i would rather not get involved in high risk investments. what is the best way of using this money to build up my investment portfolio and ensure a good return over a varied time scale(preferably i want a short term for the majority of the money, but i dont mind tying a few grand up for longer if need be)- i also like the idea of owning shares that i can quickly sell if need be.
I appreciate any advice

Investment advice is regulated and the board is not authorised to give investment advice.
We can comment and discuss though. However, you havent indicated what you are looking at. If you are going to DIY then you need to decide for yourself. So, what you have looked at so far and why?I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0 -
Out of interest what is the investment that gives you a 30% return in 12 months?Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.0

The OP can clarify but I would assume that the money has been in a long term bond and becomes available in a year, so 30 per cent compounded over say five years, could be wrong though.0
