It sounds to me like you want your $200,000 to be safe (Not decline in value). Is this correct?
Also any future interest that is credited to your account or added to your $200,000 to be safe(Not decline in value) and to compound. Is this correct?
Is this long-term money?
In the worst case, would you need withdraw NO more than 10% or less of you account value each year?
Would you be interested in a vehicle that allows you to participate in an interest crediting method that is based on an Equity Market Index with a Cap to the upside in exchange for an account value that will NOT decline in value(Except for withdrawals you make)?
If you answered YES to all the above then you need to read further and get additional information and details because the following may be perfect for your situation:
Did I mention the Interest you earn is Tax Deferred?

It depends on the performance that you are looking for. If you are happy with a few percent every year, I think that you should go for cash, a short term bond, a CD and the like.
If your goal is to make double-performance, then your best chance is probably to invest in the stock market, the smart way:
1. Diversify in 25 stocks or more, so that if you make a mistake, it won't affect too much of your money.
2. Be market neutral. Instead of just buying companies and hoping the market won't crash, allocate half of your money to undervalued companies, hoping that their share price will go up. With the other half, sell short overvalued stocks. The end result: you'll be market neutral, that means you can make money whatever the market does.
You'll find more on this on my site.
Let's make money!
Good luck

Invest $1000 each week, initially in different common stocks until you have 50 or so. Pick stocks that pay over three per cent dividends but not weirdly high dividends, with a record or dividens and earnings per share growing over recent years. Hope that the stock market and the price of your stock goes DOWN so that your moneywill buy more shaqres. Reinvest dividends.

Buy some property that needs work. Fix it up and make it really stylish.
Nice paint job, cozy atmosphere and so on.
Sell it with a nice mark up and do it again.
