The simplest way to invest would be investing in index funds or ETF’s called Exchange Traded funds since the expense ratios are low. Investing in indexes such as NASDAQ, NYSE is the way to go since it’s so hard to beat the major indexes year after year as a managed portfolio manager. Most politicians or Federal Reserve Bank Presidents invest this way since it’s unbiased and they won’t get in trouble since they have inside information.
The simpliest investment for beginners would be Vanguard’s ETF Total World Stock Market with tick VT which trades International, Emerging Markets and United States stock market indexes. It’s the way to go since it’s divisified and has the growth of emerging markets. Simply open an account with a discount broker such as E-trade, TD Ameritrade, Fidelity or Schwab and buy shares yearly or at your schedule.
Bonds are generally bought for safety or as you grow older to reduce risk or provide income. Rule of thumb is to invest 10% into bonds when you reach age 30 and increase by 10% every decade

Unbiased.co.uk Find an IFA 11:04 am on January 29, 2010
The Investment Management Association provide a really good guide which helps to explain investing called ‘Introducing Investment’ which can be downloaded from here http://www.investmentuk.org/investors/default.asp
However, I would really suggest that you seek advice from a suitably qualified independent financial adviser, whose job would be to match an individual’s needs to a suitable financial solution. If you take advice from an IFA they will be regulated by the Financial Services Authority and accountable for any recommendation that they provide. By taking a D-I-Y approach to investing you may save some money in fees paid for advice, but any mistakes that you make may be very costly indeed.

The answers above are for guidance only and should not be acted upon without you receiving independent financial advice relevant to your circumstances. To find and IFA please go to http://www.unbiased.co.uk
