Investors, how would you allocate?

Posted at: 2014-12-05 
Missing from your question is your goals, what you want to accomplish with this money. Do you want to make it into $100 million, a billion? I will assume you want to grow it at a reasonable rate and make an acceptable income (even with low living costs, it's nice to have some money).

Honestly, the first thing I would do is set aside $1 million and start a scholarship fund at each my local high schools. With another million I'd start some sort of charitable foundation. With the rest I would look first to hedge funds, and split about $4 million between them. That leaves $4 million that I would split between a few mutual fund companies and a modest brokerage account, in which I would vary between stock funds and bond funds depending on the economy.

Over the long term a diversified portfolio of stocks

bonds and cash is the sure fire way to go.

Recommended is 60% stocks, 30% bonds and

10% in cash.

I will definitely concern with one of the good investment officer of a reputed firm/company and will get know about the various investments funds and their NAV etc before to do it.

Theoretical question and I will use round numbers for ease…

With consideration to lifestyle and security, real or imagined, if you were in a position of having no debt and virtually no living expenses, so income is not of a high priority, but surely a consideration and lets say a lack of wanting to worry about markets, though some is ok…

If you had $10 million - how would you allocate the funds?
