Description

Inflation is unpredictable—and it doesn’t care what the experts think. Join us as we explore why traditional forecasting fails, how real assets like real estate and commodities can act as powerful inflation hedges, and whether Bitcoin truly deserves its "digital gold" title.  

In this episode, we discuss: 

  • Consumer vs. professional inflation expectations
  • What it means to leverage “Real Assets” as a hedge
  • Why equities still matter
  • The role of diversification
  • A planning framework to help safeguard against inflation

Today's article is from the CFA Institute blog titled, Mind the Inflation Gap: Hedging with Real Assets. Listen in as Founder and CEO of Howard Bailey Financial, Casey Weade, breaks down the article and provides thoughtful insights and advice on how it applies to your unique financial situation.
