As the US is undergoing recession fears, it is uncertain what will happen to the record breaking equity markets. As far as investments are concerned, the DOW has already hit a bottom of about -10% with more pain to go1, same as the S&P. Real estate is also struggling to make new sales as the FED continues to increase interest rates again and again. Unsurprisingly, digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum have stumbled almost 50% this year. In this tumbling economic crisis, factors like the war in Ukraine, supply chain disruptions and China’s “zero COVID” policy are further worsening the economy.
In July, inflation was recorded at 8.52%2, slightly lower than the previous month. This time last year, it was recorded at 5.37%. As a result, inflation continues to rise and stock markets are unable to reverse negative performance, causing a capital preservation dilemma.
What is hedging against inflation in an asset?
Hedging against inflation means investing in an asset that beats inflation over time. Hedging, sometimes also known as risk management, can be done by diversifying portfolios with different assets such as real estate, precious metals and other commodities. For example, if you invested in an asset like gold or silver, which typically gives 4% ROI year over year, and if the inflation was 3% in that particular year, you will receive a 1% gain hedging against inflation.
However, emerging alternative assets such as diamonds and precious gems have an edge compared to the standard alternative assets to perform exceptionally well; irrespective of the market conditions.
Emerging Alternative Assets
Alternative assets like real estate and private equity have always been a traditional way of investing to hedge risk, but investments in emerging alternative assets such as precious gems, art, and fine wine are performing even better than traditional alternative investments. More interestingly, investments in diamonds and precious gems are becoming increasingly popular among wealthy and institutional investors. Due to mine closures, supply is extremely scarce causing demand and prices to rise. Furthermore, technology innovations and regulatory developments have made investing in diamonds more accessible to investors of all types through the ability to acquire fractional ownership. LUXUS is at the forefront, being the first fintech platform where investors can buy shares of extremely rare and valuable luxury assets.
Indeed, investing in alternative assets through online investment apps has seen sizable growth in the recent decade due to investors’ interest in portfolio diversification. In these contemporary circumstances, alternative assets, especially diamonds, are proving to be a better path towards hedging against inflation.
