    You have a few options,
    you could invest in some shares (high risk, retuns variable), - Dont ask me which shares i dont study them
    a company that you get a share of (risk variable, returns variable but tending towards high if you put the work in)
    form your own company (risk variable, returns variable but tending towards high if you put the work in)
    Get a loan (risk low, returns low).

    Dont know if that helps, of if you knew it already but it may give you some idea.

    Figure out your timescales and your attitude to risk. Are you getting married or buying a house soon. Do you have a pension etc

    In terms of risk decide how you want to risk the money. If you can afford to lose money. Is high risk equities the way or is a deposit account the best. Of course you can split your funds over several risks e.g. 20% in deposit account, 20% in high risk equities

    Once you've answered those questions you should know more about how you want to invest.

    The investing options available right now are risky across the board. Deposit accounts are paying less than inflation, property is probably overvalued (maybe seriously), equities will come under pressure if the US economy slows. Tough call.
