One hedge would be buying a real return bond fund. Most bonds and subsequently bond funds lose value when interest rates rise which is in large part to curb inflation. This is because newly issued bonds will have a higher interest rate. Real return bonds do the opposite as they rise with the core inflation rate. IMHO it is a good idea to have some of your investment portfolio in these types of bonds. Another would be blue chip companies that reduced dividends during the financial crisis but are considered stable.I have only been investing since post crash in 2008 and like most folks in these times I have done well but like the title say how to protect your portfolio when inflation is on the rise?
