If you had $1 million in a retirement account......
 

How would you invest it?

What % real estate, % mutual funds, etc.

How would you try and get the biggest return with the least risk.

Not to be a smart ass or anything, but shouldnt it already be in an investment account if it is money being used to build up for retirement.

China, baby, China.

No, because you won the fucking lottery and got exactly $1 million dollars after taxes.

Move to Canada and buy RRSPs. :Graucho

diversify across different asset types and globally as well. commodities have a negative correlation with stocks so they decrease risk.

best thing with funds is to pick high quality fund managers from respected companies or just go with solid hedge funds. its all about a solid track record(how they perform in both bull and bear markets).

would take one hell of a long time to buy 1 mill worth of rrsp's lol

I bought ten powerball tickets for tonight - $177 million.

You can get a proper answer for this question unless you give us the time period in which you will start using the money, ie 10, 20, or 30 years. In general, the sooner you need the money the less risk you want to expose yourself to.

If you plan on retiring now, then you need an investment that gives you a fixed return.

you could be my first investor in the iguana hedge fund. :thumbsup

depends on which would have the better out come in the years to come if you could tell that, some stable, wouldnt gamble with it on risky stock or such, i understand that nothing is completely stable
