1000 pound to invest

depending what your timeframe preferences are, here are a couple of options: stock indexes: as per fool's investing guide, historically this had the highest return / risk ratio. on a 5-year horizont, with no extra work, this seems the best option. premium bonds, similar to most cash isas currently available, have a rather rubbish roi atm (~3-5% aer at max) invest it into yourself, in the form of personal development, classes & courses, or starting a business. disadvantage: this also will carry an opportunity cost in the form of your time. on a longer timeline, however, if this improves your market value only by 1%, that pays extreme dividends over the rest of your carrier. with a single grand at hand, i'd definitely recommend going for option 3 -considering yourself as an investing vehicle, and ask yourself: how can you best improve stakeholder value?  you'd be surprised at the kind of results a single grand can make.
