What is a good investment for £1000 which I have suddenly acquired?Something for the future?

Something for the future that I could pass on to my favourite grandson

Answers:
Buy a premium bond in his name for £100 so he can hope. You never know!

Put the balance in a stocks and shares mini ISA invested in a good equity income fund. This will pay an increasing annual dividend, which will grow at compound rate, tax free.

It will help with university fees or deposit for a mortgage one day, or even a pension at 65.

You could give it to me, I'll drink it all down the pub, then in the future I'll have a hangover and I'll most probably vomit, and if your grandson is in close proximity it'll pass all onto him!
