Craig Toberman, Founder of fee-only financial planning firm Toberman Wealth, was recently featured by Bloomberg Wealth on what happens when The Federal Reserve changes its short-term benchmark rate, as they did in early March.
Craig was tasked to answer the question “What is the one misconception you wish you could correct about clients’ views on rising interest rates?”
He warns readers to “brace yourself for the unexpected”. The key is to “build a portfolio that would be expected to fare better during periods of rising prices” in anticipation of “an unexpected acceleration in the pace of future rate increases”, he says.
Why should we anticipate this? Rate hikes are the best tactic the Fed has to thwart inflation – which is on the rise.
Craig ends his opinion with a few strategies you can add to your already diversified portfolio in case The Federal Reserve uses this rate acceleration tactic later in the year.
