You should definately get professional advice. There are different ways to to acheive an income through investing but your individual circumstances and tolerance for risk need to be evaluated.
The typical way to invest for income, is through investments that pay you. I agree that a mutual fund may not be the way to go here - in a mutual fund, you have no control over taxes with capital gains either nor a predicatable income stream.
High quality individual stocks, preferred stock, bonds and other fixed income products all pay you interest or dividends. A diverse mix of some or all of these may be appropriate.
Talk to a professional that doesn't just sell mutual funds. |

Pace R copied and Pasted my response on DRIP Plans. This guy does not know anything about what he is talking about evidently.
With such a large amount of money, you should consider some professional advice. However, ask over and over if there are other options than mutual funds. That seems to be the standard advice give by financial planners, and that is because they make nice commissions off of mutual funds. |

Hi,
This is my favorite subject. I have lots to say about it, which I why I wrote an entire book on the subject.
But to keep it short enough to publish here . . .
Diversify.
You seem to need a current income. To maximize current income, put more into bonds than stocks. However, if you're less than 85 years old, remember that you'll probably live a long time, and inflation will destroy the purchasing power of bond interest, so stock dividends are a much better long term investment.
1. Exchange Traded Funds (ETFS) that represent stocks with a long history of paying dividends, such as from Mergent Dividend Achievers Index.
2. Foreign and U.S. ETF of real estate investment trusts.
3. A few good master limited partnerships.
4. A few good Canadian income trusts.
5. Or bonds from corenotes.com or treasurydirect.gov .
6. Or ETF of Treasury Inflation Protection Securities (TIPS) -- the ETF symbol is simply TIP.
best, Rick Stooker
P.S. Even if you live on your income, reinvest at least 10% of it, so you'll stay ahead of inflation. |

buy a stock that has a good dividend and a long track record of paying it
I know MCD (Mcdonalds pays 1.50 per share held quarterly )good solid companies that pay good divends can give you a regular income no matter how high or low the stock goes. The dividend is based on the number of shares youown and not based on the dollar amount. so if you own 1000 shares you would do 1000 x 1.50 dividend and you would get that every 3 months plus the bonus if your shares you hold rise in value-
I am not a fan of Mutual funds because these Mutual fund people can loose your money and they still get their fees
IRA and long term stuff will be good for the long run but not if you want your money to start giving you income now
a money market account
umm well 5% a year is not what I call sustainable
so that is why I recommend stocks with dividends |

Hello,
I also had a similair problem as you have.
I had a good amount of money, and wanted it to grow.
So I looked around on the internet to find something that is:
1) giving me great returns towards a relatively small risk
2) Professional people who know what they where doing with my money.
I'm glad to say I finally found a moneymanager who is capable of giving me good returns and give me a great support.
On this blog you can follow up all the results that he is making:
http://my-robottrader.blogspot.com/
My money is working for me, in three months time I already have a ROI of 84%.
So you don't hear me complaining!
Annyway if you would like to get in touch with my moneymanager to have some more information feel free to contact me you can send an email to me at derrekmay at gmail.com.
Then I'll give you the email adress of my moneymanager
Hope this has helped you! |

safest produce the least, example are banks. Highest involve higher risk. The question is are you investing for the short term or long term. Short term should not invest in mutual fund, long turn should. Have you heard the rule of 72, it is a simple compounding method, at 12%, your money double every 6 years, at 6% in 12 years, and 3% takes about 24 years. If you wants to produce faster than that, it's best you start your own business or search for the right investor as they will not seek you but it is you who should seek them. You can talk with Legg Mason (Smith Barney) or their parent company Citigroup have your concern settle fast by seek out and control them not the other way around, mean better get something back not investing into the wrong market or funds.
If that was my money, I'll buy stocks, I'm talking about people with brain. Otherwise buy low stuff and sell high on the internet or open up your own business. Real Estate is also good. However, you can always put you money in the bank and let them do what you could have and let them eat the bigger pie of your money. |

just invest in mutual funds, thats the best way to get an income
but actually since you have so much money, you could make a fairly decent income if you made like a ING Direct savings account at 3.00% interest |

Yahoo Answers! is NOT the place to be getting advice on how to invest such a large amount. You should consult an IFA (Independent Financial Advisor) who would be able to give you proper advice. I wouldn't under any circumstances think of investing a sum like this without professional advice. Moreover, I wouldn't use any advice posted here, however well intentioned. |

If you want exactly the same income each month, invest in bonds. If you are okay with higher income some months, lower income other months, go with stocks. |

Your first option, should be to open a retirement account. This is always a good investment, regardless
of who you are.
If you have fully funded your retirement account and would like other options, you should consider a DRIP Plan.
They are seldom recommended by brokers due to the low rate of commissions received. However, these
reinvestment plans can be very powerful long-term investments. Studies have shown that DRIP's are one of
the best strategies on Wall Street.
They are inexpensive and easy to start. New investors to the stock market should definitely consider a DRIP Plan.
Companies like Toyota, Royal Canadian Bank, Sony, Bank of America, General Electric and many other Blue Chip
Stocks can be purchased through your DRIP Plan, with as little as 1 share in most cases.
These long-term plans are great for beginners as well as veterans. Check them out
