How to hedge against inflation?

If you’re looking to protect your assets from inflation, there are several strategies you can use to hedge against its effects. One common approach is to invest in assets that tend to perform well during inflationary periods, such as real estate, commodities like gold and silver, and stocks in sectors like energy and materials. Another option is to invest in inflation-protected securities, such as Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), which are designed to provide a guaranteed rate of return that adjusts for inflation. Additionally, you may consider diversifying your investments across multiple asset classes to spread risk and potentially mitigate the impact of inflation on your portfolio.

The effects of inflation are often not directly felt but are played out over a long time, especially long-term investments are vulnerable to inflation.
