As investors, we always want to protect our hard-earned money from the inevitable effects of inflation. Stephanie Link, Chief Investment Officer and Managing Director at Hightower Advisors, shared some key insights in Episode 99 of the “Invest Like the Best” podcast on how to safeguard your wealth from inflation.

One of the best ways to protect your wealth from inflation is to invest in real assets. Real assets, such as real estate, commodities, and infrastructure, are physical assets that have inherent value and generate income. They are tangible assets that can hold their value even during inflationary periods.

Investing in real estate, for example, can be a great way to protect your money from inflation. Property values tend to increase in value over time, and if you invest in rental properties, you can generate income from rent payments that can increase with inflation.

Another way to protect your wealth from inflation is to invest in stocks that have pricing power. Companies that can increase their prices to keep up with inflationary pressures can help preserve your wealth. Inflation can lead to higher costs for businesses, so investing in companies that can pass on those costs to consumers can be a smart move.

Stephanie Link also emphasized diversification as a key strategy to protect your wealth from inflation. By diversifying across different asset classes and sectors, you can reduce your risk and increase your chances of long-term success. Diversification can help you weather market downturns and minimize the impact of inflation over time.

In summary, protecting your wealth from inflation comes down to investing in real assets, stocks with pricing power, and diversification. By following these strategies, you can safeguard your hard-earned money and achieve long-term financial success.
