For very Long Term Investors, historically splitting your investment account equally into 4 Exchange Traded or Mutual Funds would grow your money faster than Inflation:

25 % S&P 500 Fund (SPY) for Growth.

25 % NASDAQ 100 Fund (QQQ) for Aggressive Growth.

25 % International Large Cap Fund (EFA).

25 % Growth and Income (for example, one of the better-performing Funds in recent years has been Calamos Growth & Income (CGIIX)
