Outpacing Inflation with Stocks
Dimensional’s Mark Gochnour, Jake DeKinder, and Senior Investment Strategist Sooyeon Mirda dissect the key role that inflation plays in investing and lay out several solutions for investors concerned about the short- and long-run impacts. Simply staying invested helps outpace inflation over the long term for a wide range of asset classes. Some investors may also wonder whether cryptocurrency or gold can help outpace or hedge inflation, but the evidence here is much less convincing.
