Hi guys,
As title really, If you had 100k how would you make it grow?
Let's say you have one year to make it as large as possible but you don't want to lose any.
Property, stocks, shares etc

I'd invest it in property (obviously with other money)

I'm in that position although not with anywhere near that much
My biggest problem is that everything involves a risk and I'm not big on them. I'm probably going to end up being taken along in the impetuousness of setting something up and just making it work.
Not sure property or stock are safe these days. Depends how quick you need the return.

Properties not a good bet right now. Probably buy stuff in bulk and sell online?0

Online is the only way. Personally I would go for universal car parts, HID kits and the likes

What were you thinking of doing?
I'm kind of thinking invest into a business and make it work to see a general return month on month.
PS - Ment to be in offday

The margins aren't great unless it's either fake or the quantities are so massive you hate the sight of the stuff.
I fancy a little part worn tyre place, with a chair in the corner where I can watch my monkeys doing the hard work.
Edit - that is my less serious one. The reason I left the college was to set up private training on my own.

I would buy lots of African children, then sell them on the black market.

On part worns?
Container of 500 tyres is £800. They go out for £10 - £20 ea.

You won't get much property for £100k maybe 2 small flats which could only be rented for £350 a month so would take 12 years to pay them off if nothing changed.

I was thinking a 130k property with a 30k mortgage, 695 a month in the nice area here.
Probably see 400 a month profit after mortgage payments.

Problem with property is it's difficult to write off the profit unless you have a bigger mortgage, in which case you get stung for CGT when you sell it.

I gave just under £100k to Avalon Investment.
Currently got "Stocks & Shares ISA, Freedom ISA" (whatever that actually means).
It doesn't appear to be making huge gains, but I guess things have been a little unstable for a while...
£ Corporate Bond
M&G Strategic Corporate Bond A +0.20%
£ Strategic Bond
Invesco Perpetual Monthly Income Pluss (Acc) +0.56%
Absolute Return
Standard Life Global Abs Ret Strategy R Acc +2.27%
Asia Pacific ex Japan
First State Asia Pacific A (Acc) +37.80%
European Smaller Companies
Threadneedle European smaller Companies 1 (Acc) +92.26%
Global Bonds
Standard Life Global Index Linked Bond R Acc -1.29%

I'd be all over property with that figure. You don't stick the whole lot in, you use it as leverage to get more money from the bank. You then use the property you buy and the gains you make to get more money from the bank and continue doing so until you have built a decent portfolio.
Sounds easy, obviously isn't, but I wouldn't say there is no money to be made in property. There most certainly is.

I'd give 50k to a portfolio manager and ask him to make me some money.
Put the other 50k down on a BTL property.

Actually if I only had 1 year to make as much as possible, I'd give it all to a portfolio manager.

Missed the time parameter tbh
Don't touch property if you want a return within a year, In fact unless you hit the jackpot with a massive gamble just stick it in the highest returning bank account. A year is no time.

figures at the end i.e +92% meaning a 92% return on your investment?
This seems the way to go for sure! I know you won't always see that but they seem to know what they're doing!
