Inflation, variable annuities, and real estate are three factors that can impact an investor’s portfolio. On the latest “Your Money, Your Wealth” podcast episode 321, Joe Anderson, CFP® and Big Al Clopine, CPA, provide insights into how to invest against these risks.

Inflation is a fact of life, and it can erode the purchasing power of an investor’s portfolio over time. To combat inflation, investors should consider adding assets that can appreciate in value at a rate that exceeds inflation. This can include stocks, commodities, and real estate. While bonds can also provide a hedge against inflation, their returns may not keep pace with inflation, making them less effective.

Variable annuities are another investment option that can provide a hedge against inflation. Variable annuities offer a guaranteed minimum income benefit, which can give retirees a reliable source of income during their golden years. The key to investing in variable annuities is to make sure that you understand the fees, surrender charges, and underlying investments.

Real estate is a long-term investment that has historically appreciated in value over time. While it can be a good way to diversify a portfolio, real estate investments require a significant amount of capital and expertise. Investors should consider investing in real estate investment trusts (REITs), which are companies that own and manage income-producing properties.

To invest against these risks, investors should diversify their portfolios by investing in a variety of assets, such as stocks, bonds, commodities, and real estate. They should also be aware of the fees associated with the investments and consider working with a financial advisor.

In summary, inflation, variable annuities, and real estate are three risks that investors face. To invest against these risks, investors should diversify their portfolios and consider assets that can appreciate in value at a rate that exceeds inflation. They should also be aware of the fees and underlying investments and consider working with a financial professional.
