John,

Thanks for the reply, this is going to be a long term, all of us agree
on putting this money on a side and invest it, again we are looking
for long run investment with reasonable monthly/yearly return.

It depends on your time frame for using the money. If it is less
than about 5 years, then preservation of the original amount is
more important than rate of return. That means getting the best
rate of return that you can find on a money market or CD account.
If your time frame is longer than 5 years, then your loss of
purchasing power becomes a big risk, and you likely need to be
looking at bonds or stocks to make up for that risk. Perhaps some
no-load index funds or a balanced fund would do the trick. Bond
funds are risky due to interest rates going up, and individual
stocks are not a good idea with that relatively small amount of
money (you cannot buy enough stocks to be both diversified and to
overcome the commission charages).
