After a year in IB, I've managed to save up about $75,000 (plus a little from when I worked in university). Eventually its going to go into a down payment for a house (after my analyst stint) but in the meantime, I'd like to invest it. Any good ideas outside the standard ETFs? Passive strategies are preferred given the limited amount of time I have to research companies.

Emerging markets commodity ETFs, volatile but great returns
damn how'd you save that much after 1 year??
haha i was going to ask the same question...what about investing in real estate or so? it may consume a little of your time but it will also generate nice returns, especially if you can get foreclosure properties.
Thanks for the responses everyone.
Typical IB expenses but I had a full ride through university (no debt) and my parents bought be a place in freshman year that happens to be close to where I work now (no rent). Eating out/booze are my only real regular expenses but I'd probably die if I spent my entire salary on every month.
Already highly levered to commodities just from my job and current investments. Probably looking to diversify away from that.
Managing a foreclosure property probably wouldn't pan out, at least not as an analyst.

Not sure if your definition of "standard ETFs" alludes to more than sector/index ETFs, but there are plenty of other ETFs listed here (small cap, growth, value, midcap, momentum, low vol, REIT, commodities, etc.) https://www.spdrs.com/

You should probably consult people outside of WSO - it seems like you're well off, so obviously ask your parents as well.
