Buy a franchise and get a really good manager!
Blockbuster, McDonalds, Burger King, or some up and new coming company.
Or invest in Medical Research. There is a new company who is going public soon with implants to make blind people see. It's already been tested in Europe. Check it out.

med companies are supposed to continue to give high ROI to investors, afaik. they were the top in 2001. of course the economy is so fucked up now.. i think the last i read med was still #1 =)

If you like relatively low risk with some tax advantages, try investing in rental property. Look at areas of the country where there is a track record of consistent asset appreciation. If you plan on holding on to the property for longer than 5 years then short term price fluctuations are okay.

I would ask a real estate investment advisor.

i've been concentrating all my time and effort on my online biz for the past 6-7 years, and beyond some small time investing, most of my assets are currently liquid.

basically, i'm looking for a place to put 1.5 - 2.5 M away, safely, and collect interest from it, at the best possible rate, with very low risk. i've talked to several banks (who have all tried their best to convince me), and i've come away pretty much unimpressed so far.

thanks

Can't you basically just live off that kind of money, and not worry about interest?

Hi Quiet, I used to work as a loan manager for BMO and a good friend of mine is a high end investment counsellor. He's the kind of guy you go to see when you win the lottery. Seriously...

Anyways I am not sure how you feel about the Canadian Banks but this guy is a straight shooter and can definetely be of some service to you. He usually only deals with clients with portfolios of greater than 1M.

His office is downtown on Bay St. Contact me on ICQ if you wish, and I would be glad to pass on his number.

Good luck, glad to hear about the nestegg.

diversify, which will minimize risk. include many assets types like real estate, stocks, bonds, international bonds and stocks. plus it will give you some extra return which is needed to protect against inflation.

go to one of the larger mutual fund companies and talk to someone.

oh no. i am not interested in risk. annuities, mutual funds - with low risk. with someone who specializes in personal investments over 1 M. also, i'm in Canada, so would have to have a presence here.

If you are stuck on having a canadian presence then forget this.

Cayman National Bank. In 1997 my friend opened an IRA there which they have invested in God knows what. Since that time it has earned approx 14% each year. Last year it dropped to about 11% after 9-11.

Upside is that with his initial investment, which was less than half of what you are looking at, he will be well off for retirement. The downside is that he can not touch the funds until he is 59 & 1/2 years old unless he wants to hand over 10% off the top.

Just another option for you. Now go talk to a financial planner and get it done right.

capribex · 05-27-2002, 03:24 AM

quite, give me your icq.
i have a more-than-interesting advise for you.
will yield about 10% per year on the US$, very small risk (practically non existant)

Shoplifter · 05-27-2002, 03:30 AM

There are some nice US dollar bond funds look at BMO 802...Very secure and slightly higher rates than average. I don't put my zeros into anything riskier than this.

vegasdude · 05-27-2002, 03:32 AM

hehe quiet nice seing people do well!

just a question;)

when you retire I hope that you have found a business partner you trust to run the sites for you.... I mean as long as they profit it will be like shooting yourself in the foot not profiting from your hard work!

quiet,

did you get my reply to your mail ok?

Jakke PNG · 05-27-2002, 04:51 AM

If I had 1M+ to invest the choice would be clear to me.

I would invest in realestate in some place where I could easily rent out appartements and keep increasing the value of the property (Like helsinki in my case). Solid money, no chance of going down.
Other than that, silver. I wouldn't invest in gold, prices of gold rise quickly and decrease quickly. Silver does steady increase and steady decrease, enough time to get rid of it if it seems bad.
