• Investing in equities over a long period is one
  of the best ways to stay ahead of inflation. Over
  the last 10 years, the Nifty has returned around
  12 a year compared to the 5.77 average
  inflation rate. One can either invest directly or
  through mutual funds.
• For small investors, it is advisable to invest
  through mutual funds, as they are managed by
  experts. Online investment brokers offer bulk of
  these services with ease and thanks to the

• While the IMF figures indicate that inflationary
  trends would still be moderate compared to near
  double digit spurts witnessed around five years
  ago, soaring global crude oil prices, the rupee
  depreciation and the impact of the recent seventh
  pay commission could still keep prices on a
  gradually upward trajectory.
• Keep in mind that the risks of not investing in
  the stock market are even greater than the risks
  of investing. As the legendry investment guru
  Warren Buffett has noted, inflation is the real
  threat to your savings and stock market
  investments are best placed to deliver
  inflation-beating returns on a consistent basis
  over a long period of time.
