TIPs in the VP: Good for Low Inflation?
Posted: Thu Mar 13, 2014 9:50 am
On pg. 61 of the PP book, Craig and MT state that gold works best during periods of high inflation (5% or more.) But several consecutive years of low inflation, when gold is not rising in price, could damage a portfolio's returns.
So what can minimize or prevent portfolio losses during periods of low inflation (1-4%)?
Could low inflation be the time when TIPs make sense for a Variable Portfolio?
Comments welcome.
