Expert gave advice on investment strategies

One of the reliable methods of capital protection is floaters - inflation-protected bonds. This financial instrument provides for the adjustment of interest payments depending on the inflation index. Ilya Kolbin, a financial expert, told Izvestia on February 12.

"Investing in shares of rapidly developing companies helps to protect capital from inflation. Such companies have stable financial indicators, high demand for products and the ability to control prices," the expert explained.

According to him, a favorable option can be investments in sectors of the economy, the least exposed to inflationary risks energy, raw materials or consumer goods. In addition, gold is considered one of the most stable assets in the context of high inflation, as its value usually increases in proportion to inflationary processes and is maintained in the long term.

Some alternative forms of investment, including private equity, hedge funds and venture capital projects, have the potential to generate higher returns, albeit with certain risks. A similar dynamic can be seen in the case of cryptocurrencies. These assets can act as a kind of defense mechanism, but in Russia there are significant regulatory risks that require attention.

"The key strategy for successful investing in an inflationary environment is to diversify the investment portfolio. This means distribution of investments between different types of assets and companies", - summarized Kolbin.

The information in the material is not an investment recommendation.

"An investor should have the intuition of an entrepreneur."

Earlier, on January 16, Oleg Reshetnikov, stock market expert at BKS Investment World, and Natalia Malykh, head of the stock analysis department at Finam Financial Group, told Izvestia about the consolidation of the MosBirch index at 2900 points due to the halt of monetary policy tightening (MPT). According to experts, in December the Central Bank unexpectedly kept the key rate at 21% despite expectations of an increase amid weakening corporate lending. If this trend continues in 2025 and inflation shows a tendency to slow down, the chances of easing the monetary policy will increase.
