What company shares should I invest £1,000 in?

Investment in stocks and shares are subject to market fluctuations and you may get back less than you put in. You should first speak to a qualified financial adviser for ideas.

It's only £1,000, so I can afford to take the risk. Over the long term, shares outperform bank account interest rates.

Past performance is not a guarantee on future potential earnings and losses are still viable if the timing of the investment is aligned with unfavorable market conditions. A financial adviser would be able to test your risk tolerance and advise accordingly.

Whilst there are anecdotal accounts of people making significant earnings, the stories of life-changing losses are not eagerly volunteered. Crypto is an unregulated industry and exceptionally high risk. Consultation with a financial expert in the first instance may be best.
