I loved these types of questions. I still get people asking for 10% a year with no risk.
It isn't possible.
If by shortest time you mean that you may need the funds at any time, then the best move would be a money market mutual fund, which will have a 7-day average yield of about 5% at present. Any investment in stocks would be subject to market or company risk. Any investment in a bond would be subject to interest rate risk ( a bond moves inversely in price with changes in interest rates). A mutual fund that is not a money market fund is essentially a stock fund or bond fund or some combination of those.
A mutual fund is not a separate asset class. You have to look at what it holds.

For a short time span, like 1 - 2 years, you will want to stick with money market accounts or short-term mutual bond funds. Stocks are not a proper option for short time horizons.
