Ideally I would like to build compound interest and start it now. Just not sure which fund, ETF, etc would be best.
Rule of thumb I've heard from Dave Ramsey.

Take 3 of the highest 10 year fund performers and put money in those.

Then I heard someone break it down even further... Take 3 of the top Index fund performers over 10 years and put it into those.

Index funds are low maintenance. That advice hasn't guided me wrong yet.
