CNBC Pro spoke to financial advisors and investment experts to find out how they would allocate $250,000 over the next five years. Preferred Stocks: Preferred stocks have attractive yields and are depressed after two years of weak stock and bond markets — and so are set to gain if the stock market recovers, Hatfield said. Preferred stocks have characteristics of both stocks and bonds — they trade on exchanges like stocks but they have a face value and pay dividends like bonds. They are also like bonds in that when the value of the preferred stock goes down, yields rise. $30,000 to investment grade bonds: This is a conservative investment that will benefit if long-term rates rally, he said.

"Bears in 2023 continue to be proven wrong — this has been one of the most hated rallies in recent memory. Given this uncertain backdrop, investors with a budget of $100,000 might be wondering where and how much to invest in each asset class. For those looking to invest $100,000, the CIO advised caution on allocating too much to stocks and bonds. He highlighted the Federal Reserve's restrictive monetary policy and said the impact of last year's interest rate hikes is "yet to be fully felt in the economy." The CIO is particularly bullish on real estate as he believes it offers a hedge against inflation.

"You might be more likely to maintain contributions or ride out short-term market volatility if that new home, dream trip or once-in-a-lifetime experience is clear in your mind," he added. But plenty of common money mistakes are related to losing or spending money rather than making it. Paying off debt, such as your rent and bills, should be prioritized — not doing so could have serious consequences, Myron Jobson, senior personal finance analyst at interactive investor, tells CNBC Make It.
