Three stocks to protect your income from rising inflation

Professional investors Alastair Laing and Peter Spiller, co-managers of the Capital Gearing Trust, pick three stocks with long-term inflation-linked revenues

After decades of quiescence, inflation appears to be rearing its head once again. With interest rates likely to remain well below inflation for many years, savers face the dismal prospect of ever-diminishing purchasing power.

At Capital Gearing Trust, we focus on protecting the value of our clients’ wealth in real (after inflation) terms. There are a number of tools that we use in pursuit of that aim, including substantial investments in inflation-linked bonds. We also focus on specialist equities, typically investment trusts and real estate investment trusts (Reits), which benefit from long-term inflation-linked revenue streams. These are three examples from the infrastructure and specialist property trust sectors.
