What is the best way to invest $500?
I'm not extremely risk-averse, but I don't want to bet everything on one investment. So somewhere in the middle.
That's completely understandable. How about the iShares Core ETFs? They offer a range of diversified investments that might meet your criteria. For example, the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF tracks the performance of the S&P 500 Index, which is known for being a reliable benchmark of stock market performance.
