What can I buy to beat inflation?

Infrastructure and real estate investment trusts often have contracts linked to inflation, so their income and dividends would rise as inflation does. Gold could also rise in value thanks to its status as a relative safe haven during periods of volatility or economic downturn.

telegraph.co.uk - Three things you must do today to beat inflation - The Telegraph

Households are braced for a prolonged period of high inflation and further interest rate rises, as the latest government figures showed prices had risen by 11.1pc in the last year. It is likely to mean higher interest rates, which threaten to put yet further pressure on stock markets and hurt Isas and pensions. Meanwhile, rising prices mean the buying power of cash will fall faster. But there are still a few measures you can take to protect your finances. The Telegraph explains the best options to protect your cash from rampant inflation.

1. Change your investment strategy

Inflation, in moderation, is not necessarily bad for stocks, as some companies can pass costs on to consumers to balance out rising input costs. Those which have strong pricing power, such as utilities or large consumer brands, should be able to carry on with business as normal. Oil and mining companies will also do well as rising commodity prices are good for their bottom lines. Utility groups sometimes pay dividends linked to inflation. However, inflation could be bad for retailers, such as supermarkets, which may lack the ability to increase prices. Infrastructure and real estate investment trusts often have contracts linked to inflation, so their income and dividends would rise as inflation does. Gold could also rise in value thanks to its status as a relative safe haven during periods of volatility or economic downturn.

2. Protect your retirement income

Inflation can have an enormous impact on how long retirement savings will last. Those with a basic "level" annuity will see their income eroded every year. Owners of an inflation-linked annuity will start off with a much smaller income, but one that keeps increasing over time.
