    Similar numbers and age here, while considering what to do I ve spread it over loads of accounts. My regular saver pot exceeds 6%, beating sip and isa for no risk, albeit taxable.

    Started with my bank by default, its become a hobby.

    Imo, premium bonds for all 4 of you, £200k. If you need the rest (£150k) to live on, then split it into 2 or 3 savings accounts across different providers. If you don't need it now, cash ISA's bit by bit maybe.  All very safe.
    Not enough detail of your situation to really get an idea tbh.
    No brainer - engage your wealth managers for advice. If they confuse you then they are probably not suitable..
