There's always SOME risk.
Get a guaranteed return with an annuity. It' s backed by the insurance company. Some good companies like Genworth and John Hancock sell annuities.

A CD could pay more than the bank, but even there you have some risk unless you break up the amount so that you don't exceed the FDIC limits.
But, why would you want to invest at NO risk? A little risk can pay a much higher return and your principle can stay very secure, depending on how you approach it.
I know a great way to invest it where you could realize a near 80% gain in two years, with very little risk at all. The entire time you have the investment, your money is secured by real estate, so your only risk is if property values decline significantly.
If you really have that much to invest, we should talk. I never have control over your money. All transactions are done with attorney's and under state and federal guidelines, and you maintain full control on the decisions being made. The risk is low, as the investment is spread amongst many different properties.
This is not in lending private money to people with bad credit, where your risk goes up significantly.

Every investment involves some sort of risk. Even a bank savings account..
That being said, it is still an extremely safe investment. US backed government bonds are considered the safest investment in the world, however, there is the risk that the government will collapse, and you then would lose all your money. (I have a feeling that’s not going to happen).
You could also in CD's, mutual funds, ETF's, or stocks, all with inherent risks. However, if you have a long time to invest, the stock market, on average, provides about 8% return a year.

There's always a risk. With "safe" investment ie the bank or government bonds the risk is erosion through inflation. It's pretty simple really the bigger the potential return the bigger the potential risk. Personally, I'd got with property every time. You are likely to get a reasonable return on your investment and the capital is generally quite safe, especially if you are considering long term investment.
