Inflation's Impact: Strategies Beyond Bonds

Please text and tell us what you like

In today’s episode, Steve and Clem discuss (and debate) the idea of replacing a portion of your bond holdings with a satellite portfolio of assets that that may offer a superior combination of yield and inflation resistance. 

We consider the fact that inflation, while moderating significantly, is far from conquered.  We also wonder if Fed rate cuts might actually prompt a return to higher inflation.  Last, we wonder if we’re overdue for a sizable equities correction, especially among those AI and pharma stocks that have had a good run. 

For this inflation-proofing satellite portfolio, we look at REITs, utilities, and natural resource equities, including energy, mining, and agriculture.

All of these assets have advantages with respect to yield and inflation resistance, but whether they offer total returns superior to those of general equities is open to question. 

Steve and I welcome you to share your insights and continue the conversation.
