Investing in Inflation
It's easier to weather inflation when you're better prepared
Why invest in inflation-linked bonds?
Inflation erodes the value of capital. It is therefore important to consider the real value (the value after allowing for inflation) rather than the nominal value (before inflation has been calculated) of a bond. As inflation-linked bonds provide a principal and coupon payments that are adjusted by the rate of inflation, they may provide protection against rising prices.
If 10-year annualised inflation is 2.5%, capital is eroded by 200% over the period.
