Best ways to make the most profitable investment from a $625000 inheritance?
money is in canadian dollars, e.g how could i invest to double that money and in what timeframe?

If you have a $625,000 inheritance, it would be shame to loose a great deal of it attempting to double the money in a too short period of time. I believe the best approach would be to attempt a 8 to 11% annual return which would entail some moderate risk but not more than a reasonable investor would expect. At 8% it will double in 9 years. At 11% it will double in 7 years.

I am not familiar with the mutual funds that are available in Canada, but that is one option open to you. A good approach is to place about 20% into short term debt investing type mutual fund or bank CDs. 20% into a Canadian equity mutual fund. 20% into a U S equity mutual fund. 20% into a European equity mutual fund. And 20% into a mutual fund investing in developing countries, especially China and India. As an alternative to the developing countries, 20% in a mutual fund investing in oil stocks.

If you're Canadian... check out some of the great REIT (real estate income trusts) that are around. They pay dividends (MONTHYL!) and often have dividend yields around 12%!!

That means 1% a month coming into your account... it can be better than investing directly into real estate because there are NO HEADACHES...

That $625,000 sum could fetch you about $6,250 each month in dividends from a REIT that is yielding 12% dividends!

The stocks also appreciate, because real estate tends to go up, as do rents, and thus the dividend rates often grow too!

You can do a search for some REITs on GlobeInvestor.ca ... go down the left side to "filters" under the Research Tab. Then click, then in the search field click on Security and choose Income Trust I(units). Then click get results (pop up window comes up, click view report). Then click $ Change. Then click Div Yield column.

Note: Some of the stuff listed are Income Trusts, which the conservative government has decided to abolish, so you can avoid those for now. Focus on only those that say REIT, as REITS are allowed to continue.

Put it in a broad, balanced selection of stocks, bonds and cash (the percentage of each depends on your age), and you can reasonably expect it to double in value every seven to ten years.

Take a nice chunk of that money and invest it inJAmba Juice. Ticker symbol: JMBA listed on NASDAQ. this company has huge growth potential. CHECK IT OUT!!

Investment is an extension of your own personality.

Whether you like to play it too safe or you can take little bit more risks.

Simply put, dont expect to make grand returns on doubling your money without taking risks. It does not happen in world of investing.

So the real question is how much are you willing to risk.

There is money to be made definitely. This inheritence can give you the opportunity to be financially free for the rest of your life.

There are several options, all you have to do is take time to explore them. Drop me an email if you are still searching.

You should see a fee only financial planner. Fee only means that he/she get a flat fee and doesn't make any commissions on any of his recommendations. They may charge 1% of the assets or just a flat dollar amount. Sounds like a lot but they could save you a lot on taxes or by diversifying your investments. A lot of people can call themselves financial planners but many work for firms and get commissions and have incentives to have to buy what is best for the firm not for you.

Don't be tempted to buy real estate, buy stocks or open a business or give money to relatives before getting some sound advice - such a large amount could set you up for life so you don't want to blow it.

I own a small canadian company called AAER, symbol AAE.V, that makes wind turbines. With the growing interest in wind energy, I think this stock is going to double this year. Just my opinion.
