In the past, real estate has always been recognised as one of the best asset classes to preserve wealth and hedge against inflation. Advocates of cryptocurrency, for instance, goes as far as calling it a hedge against inflation or hedge against “fiat currency” or the “new gold”. For an asset class to constitute a hedge against inflation, the more fundamental aspect is for the asset class to consistently outperform annual inflationary pressure. My biggest takeaway though is not which asset class would be the best hedge against inflation. So, choose the asset class that you can best understand and would be happy to hold over time in the face of inflation.
