I may soon have £25K to invest. What is the best risk free way for some quick returns other than sticking it in an ISA/bank savings account? :)
 
Go and speak to a financial advisor. (in fact, go speak to many to get a good idea of what the best options are).

Look, the return you'll get on an investment is usually relative to the amount of risk involved. There is no "zero risk" investment that is going to give you "quick returns", or at least not any returns worth speaking of. In fact, there is no such thing as a "zero risk" full stop, but that's another story.

What sort of returns are you looking to make?
 
No such things as risk free quick returns, otherwise we'd all be doing it ;)

You could start up a buying frenzy on some obscure low volume stock, once the sheep move in sell it all on a spike :D

you mean where can you get free money from?

it doesn't work that way generally... you tend to get rewarded for taking risks... if you don't want risks then.....


someone might mention matched betting in a while - though you don't need 25k to do that - you can easily make a bit doing the signup offers in a short space of time
 
Fixed Term Annuity, or whatever they call them.
Barclays are running something to do with shares where you put in between £20 and £250 a month, usually linked to the financial performance of a company, for a period of three years. At the end, depending on how well the company does, you can get up to 35% return... but even if the company does awfully, you still get back at least however much you put in.

Zero risk, up to 35% back - If I had any spare cash, I'd possibly consider that...
 
My advice: Stick £20k in ISa/Savings/Bonds and forget about it. Take the remaining £5k and buy some shares. Do some research first of course, but you could make a nice little profit on that investment and if it all goes **** up, well its only a 20% loss.
