There’s no one “best” investment to get money, as all investments involve some level of risk and potential rewards. However, here are some relatively safe options to consider for growing your money over time:

• Index funds that track the broader stock market, like S&P 500 index funds, can provide relatively stable returns over the long-run. The key is investing regularly over many years.
• Broad market ETFs also offer diversification and market-like returns for very low costs. Examples are total market or total world stock ETFs.
• Blue chip stocks, or large established companies, tend to be less volatile than smaller companies. Investing in a basket of these stocks can provide dividend income and growth potential.
• Bonds and bond funds provide interest income and tend to be less risky than stocks when held to maturity. Short-term and inflation-protected bonds are relatively low risk.
• High-yield savings accounts and CDs offer modest guaranteed returns with virtually no risk to your principal. Interest rates are rising lately.
• Real estate can generate income through rental properties or REITs. This also diversifies from the stock market.

Patience and discipline is required to build wealth safely over time. I’d recommend speaking to a financial advisor to develop the right investment plan for your goals and risk tolerance.
