[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have about $800,000 split between a HYSA and a fidelity Money market. Both have been about a 4% yield. We are a high income tax bracket also. Where should we put this money so it is conservatively invested but we are not losing all returns to taxes in your opinion? [/quote]

A conservative thing to do (there are many examples) is to take 50% and buy 10-year treasuries...you will earn 4.3% but avoid state tax.

Take the other 50% and just buy an S&P index fund.  The dividend yield on the S&P is 1.19% but taxed at 15%.

It's hard to understand how define conservative.  Clearly, the S&P index fund price will equate to daily movements in the S&P, and in theory your dividend yield will increase over time as companies grow and increase dividends.[/quote]

Does this take into consideration the next few years under Trump or is it just advice in general?[/quote]

OP, what is going to happen for the next few years? What is it to consider? The answer is NO ONE KNOWS! Looking back at 2016, many posters and analysts predicted a stock market collapse under Trump, yet the market saw significant growth during his term, with the S&P 500 rising about 50% from 2016 to 2020, despite volatility. This highlights how tricky it is to forecast economic or global events.[/quote]
