Yes. If you think about it "make X from Y" is a standard expression - eg :

- you make a cake from flour, eggs, butter and sugar
- bees make honey from nectar.

So here it's really just the same. In all cases "from" has the sense of "by using", and is the preposition which introduces the ingredients that you use to produce the product.

in this case you are using the money you invest (the ingredient) to make more money (the product), so you're making more money from your money.
