The Opposite of Inflation

With inflation running hot around the globe, many investors are looking to hedge against inflation. But is that the right goal?

Davolos argues that inflation will increase the value of scalable, economically resilient business models with exposure to hard assets, and he shares several examples, ranging from gold royalty companies and financial exchanges to timber companies and agricultural processing firms.
