Investment is described as an asset that is directly or indirectly owned or controlled by investors and possesses features such as the commitment of funds or other resources, the expectation of gain or profit, or the assumption of risks. The 21st century provides greater opportunities for investment choices due to the current financial market. With a variety of investment instruments available, the market became more appealing with higher returns and risk preferences to be explored by potential investors. This study possesses two objectives which are to study the criteria of the investment and to find the best type of investment in Malaysia. Four criteria played a role in determining the best type of investment which include risk, capital, return, and the sustainability of an investment. Besides that, this study aims to identify the best type of investment in Malaysia through Fuzzy TOPSIS. Property investment, precious metal investment, cryptocurrency investment, and stock trading investment will be ranked in this study as the best type of investment in Malaysia. In addition, the variables will be sorted according to the correlation using Fuzzy TOPSIS. The final finding suggests that stock trading investment is the best type of investment in Malaysia with a correlation coefficient of 0.467109. The results of this study could be helpful to a myriad of people. Meanwhile, the project's scope could be expanded in the future by adding a variety of criteria and options.
