Where to Invest $100,000 Right Now, According to Experts

Investors face a dilemma. When the S&P 500 finished its worst quarter since 2022 last month, diversifiers like bonds and bitcoin fell too.

Even with the turnaround in mid-April, analysts at Goldman Sachs and Vanguard have projected low-single-digit annualized returns from 2024-2034.

Bloomberg asked where experts would personally invest $100,000 for their March monthly edition.

One answer that surfaced for a second time? Art.

It's what billionaires like Bezos and the Rockefellers have privately used to diversify for decades.

Why?

1. Appreciation. The ArtPrice100 Index outpaced the S&P 500 overall from 2000 to 2025

2. Low-correlation. The postwar contemporary segment has moved independently of traditional investments like stocks since ‘95.*

3. Resilience. A scarce, physical, and global asset class with decades of demonstrated demand.

1. Duke lands another Knueppel

Everyone remembers superstar forward Cooper Flagg’s lone year at Duke, earning National Player of the Year honors and leading the Blue Devils to the Final Four. The second-best player on that team was Kon Knueppel, averaging 14.4 ppg that year and now coming off a great rookie season with the Charlotte Hornets.

Kon is one of five brothers in the Knueppel family, including Kager Knueppel, another basketball prospect. The 6-10 forward and consensus top-50 prospect in the 2027 class had been coveted by a number of high-major programs, and at one point, he had said that following his brother’s footsteps was by no means a given.

However, the “Brotherhood” proved to be too good of an opportunity to pass up.

While Kon was more of a natural wing, Kager projects as more of a power forward given his frame. He’s been stellar this spring, scoring over 16 ppg and shooting over 50% from deep for Team Herro on the EYBL Circuit. He has the potential to be an outstanding stretch forward for Duke two seasons from now, and with incoming five-star forward Cameron Williams a projected one-and-done, there’s a real path for early playing time for the younger Knueppel in the future.

For the last five years, the Blue Devils have had a top-3 incoming recruiting class. Knueppel is the first commit for the 2027 group, with five-star targets such as Beckham Black and Adan Diggs the next key players to watch in the coming weeks and months.

But credit to Duke for landing another key commitment and keeping it in the family.

2. Oklahoma State transfer Kashie Natt sues NCAA

As expected, the new age-based eligibility model granting active and future players five years of eligibility has prompted multiple lawsuits from athletes whose eligibility expired after last season.

There’s already a group of 15 players from Ohio seeking the ability to play, along with a federal lawsuit originating out of California.

Kashie Natt, a 6-3 guard transfer who committed to Oklahoma State, is now the latest to sue.
