Latin translation:lucrose impendere
Explanation:
That's how I would put it.
Impendere from Impendo -is -ere, not from impendeo -es -ere.
as in: Impendere pecuniam in aliquam rem (or in aliqua re).

For the "re" of "re-invested" I would use a "rursus"

Yes, your option is also possible, but with a little correction:
It should be "ponere" instead of "poneri".

Yes, your sentence is also possible, with one little correction:
It should be "ponere" instead of "poneri" (which doesn't exist).

Yes, pecunia collocanda est is also possible, if it fits better in the structure of your sentence. Instead of 'iter' it should be 'iterum'.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Many thanks, Luis. I was thinking of Pecuniam (apud aliquem) ponere e g Eam pecuniam lucrose rursum (rursus) poneri oportet (?)

Asker: Thank you, Luis. I meant "ponere" of course. Also "Pecunia ea rursum (iter) ponenda (collocanda) est."
