Where are you investing your bonus?

Feel like I’m at a loss. I over indexed on cash the last two years and missed out on the massive equity rally but prices seem even more insane to me now. I’m feeling particularly risk averse as I’d like to use a portion of this money for a down payment on a house but I’m also maybe 3-5 years away on that. Where else would you park a few $100ks with a 5ish year time horizon?
