    The 1% return is nominal (albeit better than the 0% we're at now). I think we'd better off investing it. We're not big on risk so stocks and share are out. Was thinking property could be a decent return.

    You just want a decent savings account/s

    They said 'investing', & haven't said if that's all their funds or not.

    There are savings accounts paying >1%, & also fixed term bonds.
    The capital is then not at risk.
