Not enough info to give an answer.

We'd need to know the allocation of your current portfolio - what % in stocks, what % in bonds, what % in cash, etc. How old are you? Are you contributing to a retirement plan - 401k and/or Roth?

Doubling an investment in 10 years is certainly achievable. That would need an annual return of about 7.2%.

Looking stictly at this money, ignoring any other investments are what your overall allocation is, you could probably achieve that with a diversified stock mutual fund like a total market index fund or an S&P 500 index fund.
