I invested £12,000 inheritance at 19 years old, and just choose 20 random mutual funds from hargreaves & lansdown and put £600 in each of them.

my average return for the last 9 years has been 8%-15%

the compound interest in the real shit, at current protections that £12,000 will be worth around £450,000 - £500,000 at 55 years old. the hardest part was not touching it! not even for a house deposit.
Nice one....hopefully. "value of the investment can go up and down."
Best thing I did was to get into cash after Brexit. Yes, stockmarket went up more afterwards, but now...still not back where it was.
