Inflation appears set to persist in 2022 so if you leave money in the bank, it could devalue in real terms. Our experts discuss possible strategies to try to beat inflation.

Could investing in global equities provide inflation protection?
In the past, investing in equities has typically been one of the best ways to protect your money against inflation. Discover why our experts think investing in global equities could be a key investment theme in 2022.

Could there be investment opportunities in automation?
We believe automation may be an area where you could see inflation-beating returns on investments. The robots are coming, and we predict they could be an exciting investment theme for 2022.

Could investing in infrastructure safeguard against inflation?
Many infrastructure investments have built-in inflation protection. As a result of this, and significant government spending globally, we think investment in infrastructure is likely to be a top theme for investors in 2022.

In response to the climate crisis, there are new industries emerging which are creating investment opportunities. This makes climate transition a lasting and powerful theme for 2022 and beyond.
