Since its quick and steady climb in 2021, reaching a November peak of 6.2% not seen since 1982, inflation has been top of mind for financial professionals and their clients. While recent headlines point to a turning tide and the return to more moderate inflation rates in 2022, you must be prepared in these unpredictable times.
Financial professionals need to play offense when combating inflation and clients defense. Offensively, portfolios need to be evaluated to determine if they are adequately diversified and capable of delivering real long-term returns. Meanwhile, clients can benefit from maintaining a defensive position, staying aware of rising prices, and blocking impulsive purchases that can negatively impact their long-term financial planning.
