Place to park funds

But you are looking for something everyone else is looking for, that all depends on your capital and what your class as "decent". You want an oxymoron, yield without effort and risk, for some reason you believe that your inability to trade won't follow you in to money management. The reason you place funds in custody is because you don't have time or you want to leverage, the due diligence doesn't change.
You have art, you have cars, but as you won't have that capital the options diminish as you go down the pyramid until you end up with too many chasing too few options. So you have to take more educated risk or accept what the masses have access to. Know people to park funds for extreme risk that generate 300-500%/yr net, or low risk 15-20%/yr net, and a few in between, but they don't know you so they won't touch your capital.
Unless you know people who know people, no one is going to give you access to anything outside of 'normal', or you just buy an ICO which is the hot new thing and hope you're not holding the tulip bulb at the end. Funny question though.
what you effectively saying is: "I want to invest because I am not good at trading"
why do you assume that investing is easier than trading?
imho it is not
you surely can do like most others - invest it somewhere... be it cd, mutual fund, bonds or just some blue chips
but its sounds that you want to be intelligent about it - to know what to do, to know what to buy, when to buy, how to manage (without being in front of monitor daily) and when to sell depending on your goals, time horizons, risk you willing to take, etc, etc
well, one can not be intelligent about it without having working investment methods...
even if you decide: the hell with it, I will keep everything in cash, immediate question arise - in what currency? ... and again you need investment method to decide
what to do?
anything or nothing... but mostly hope or pray
please explain the incredibly high failure rate among traders and professional hedge fund managers.This is ET, afterall...so GET Good,-- instead of just ...settling... for basically no returns that are safe,
Trading is not that hard or random, ...it's like planning or predicting who will win a war...by just observing certain variables and the overall picture, things become slightly more clearer and evident,
Sometimes, things are just a matter of perspective,...like if you're stuck in a garden maze...if you're up in a balcony...it will make a difference,
Or witnessing a crime, the more cameras/angles you have...the more clearer the picture will become,
Apply these principles to trading, try to apply them to the daily DOW/SPY charts, -- Everything kind of trickles down from these broad indicators,
The Holy Grail in trading is having an open mind, and keeping calm, and using your foresight and intuition, -- it's not some fixed formula or code,
Most traders and fund managers are basically just sit and hold investors who leave things to chance,
-- and you know how fickle chance can be,And besides, the collective average masses are losers in any given sample, -- I'm not concerned or do I care about them,
I focus/follow/learn about the 'elite', (no pun intended) the Top Gun select few of a group...who have decided they don't want to be average, and have the inclination and skill to breakaway,

+"Trading is not that hard or random,"
these statements are false. it is was true their performance would equal that of the indexes. in reality their performances are sub par.
