Serious question. If you have $5m right now and no further external additions, what's the best way to double that in three years? (three years is a proxy for "reasonably fast" and I say $5m starting point rather than simply "double some amount" as there are more investments open to accredited investors). My definition of "best way" would include a high chance of achieving the goal within the timeframe while also minimizing risk to principal + some nominal annual return (that is, the worst case is lagging the market but only by a few hundred basis points, for example). I'm obviously familiar with risk/return limitations, know that it's hard to track downside with unbounded upside capture, there's no free lunch, and I will not be taking this money to the casino, doing 0DTE options, or doing a 100% allocation to triple levered beta. I'm fully aware there is no secret solution or magic bullet here, just curious if anyone has some interesting investment or portfolio construction ideas to achieve this goal.

Put it on black
$1mm each on the inside double streets. Spin 5x and you're done.
Put it in an investment that returns ~26% annually. 2ez
Yeah only possible if you take concentrated equity positions (up to 15% if liquid NW) in undervalued companies and hope they spike
Focus on getting $5 million first otherwise you’re day dreaming and going nowhere.
I don't think this is a good way to frame the question. As written, pre deal SPACs.
What's a better way to frame the question? I like the optionality of SPACs and have some in the portfolio, but beta is a powerful force and don't want to completely sacrifice it.
Unironically probably QQQ
