Inflation is back! After years with inflation rates well below 2% and in some cases even below 1%, inflation in Germany recently rose to 3.8%. In the USA, the inflation rate was recently even significantly higher at 5.4%.
In this context I am repeatedly asked how one can effectively protect oneself against higher inflation rates. My answer: there are different ways. Among other things, you can protect yourself against inflation with stocks. But it has to be the “right” stocks, because not every stock is a real asset with protection against inflation.
But be careful: First of all, it is important to understand that you not only have to pay attention to quality when investing in stocks, you should also have time. So you mustn’t be under time pressure. If you’re looking to buy a home by the end of the year, don’t use that money to buy stocks now.
