Adrian Lowcock, senior investment adviser at Bestinvest - which deals with clients with investable assets of £2 billion or more - suggests the economic downturn means money should be used for things that offer earnings, so as to combat the value attrition caused by inflation.
Individuals may wish to invest in stock that provides an increasing return, thereby further insulating assets against the negative impact of expense rises.
"This offers protection against inflation and gives exposure to markets and the potential for growth," claims the wealth management expert.
