An Investor Guide to Inflation
What to Invest in During High Inflation
Rising prices have become an unavoidable fact of life for most Canadians. You hear about inflation in the news, you see it at the grocery store. Inflation can be an investor’s worst enemy. It has the potential to deteriorate the financial structure you’ve worked so hard to build.
That is no doubt leading many investors to wonder: How can I protect myself against inflation? In general, many experts recommend investing smartly to hedge against inflation.
By understanding what drives inflation, you can take steps to hedge against inflation and protect your financial affairs; despite economic uncertainty. Investors can also use an inflation surge period as a good time to review their overall investment performance and allocation to make sure it aligns with their goals.
In this episode, Marcelo and Keith talk about why the current inflation rates are a problem, how we got here, the big debate on how long these rates will last and implications for you as an investor. They also discuss investment options to consider when thinking about what to invest in to beat inflation.
