Which Inflation Protection Strategies Worked and Which Didn't?

With a total U.S. inflation rate of 14% in the past two years, we review how various inflation hedges performed over the past twenty-four months.

Topics covered include:

  • What were investors' and the Federal Reserve's inflation expectations two years ago
  • What led to the big inflation increase
  • Why was the Federal Reserve forced to raise its policy rate by almost 5% in a year
  • How successful were inflation-index bonds, stocks, commodities, and real estate in beating inflation over the past two years
  • How did two active ETFs that set out to protect against inflation perform
  • What is the current outlook for inflation, and what should investors do
