I agree that you won't find a guaranteed 10%, though some lower rated corporate bonds might pay better than CDs (though they aren't without risk).

I'm more concerned with the fact that you have a $1 million portfolio and only earned 4-5% last year. That's lousy. My portfolio is only about 1/3 that size, but my best funds are up over 20%. My lowest yielding investment earned (money market account) about 5%.

Depending on your ultimate goal for that money, I'd suggest getting a little more aggressive.
