Honestly kinda hard but I’ll follow this post and see what others have to suggest.

Treasury i savings bonds, NRI account.

Options will vary based on your investment horizon and risk appetite.

Short term (1-2 yrs) and low risk: Treasury bonds are good.

Short term and super high risk: Bitcoin and Etherium are an option - you could lose most of your money with this, so when I say super high risk, I mean super high risk.

Long term (10+ years) and low risk: Dollar cost averaging with an S&P 500 index fund like FXAIX, VFIAX etc.

Long term and moderate risk: Dollar cost averaging with a Nasdaq index fund like QQQM.

Long term and high risk: Dollar cost averaging with a growth fund like TBCIX.

You can also invest in real estate but you’ll need a higher starting fund for that. I do not recommend REITs. They neither give you the benefits of owing real estate (leverage powered growth), nor do they give you the returns of a good index fund. Pointless for young people who are not looking for monthly income.

Good luck!

I’m starting to wonder what he even works on as he has enough time to have many hallway chats throughout the day.
