inflation hedge
Purchasing power protector
An inflation hedge is an investment expected to maintain or increase its value as currency loses purchasing power.
Real estate, gold, and commodities are traditional inflation hedges—assets whose prices tend to rise along with general price levels.
Many investors buy Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities as an inflation hedge.
The effectiveness of any hedge depends on economic conditions.
