We've all seen what has been happening with Interest Rates and Inflation this year. Jerome Powell of the Fed has stated that they will raise interest rates as much as needed to combat inflation and bring it under control. Also, Billionaire Hedge Fund Manager Ray Dalio has indicated that he expects Stocks to fall 20% if interest rates rise to 4.5%. Your retirement accounts will also be affected if the Stock Market is affected.

The only solution is to look for alternative investments to place your money into that provide a hedge against inflation. Three popular Alternative Investments that hedge against inflation are Gold and Precious Metals, Commodities, and Real Estate. In my opinion, Real Estate (Multifamily) is the best option because it offers Passive Income, Forced Appreciation, and Return of Capital Events which all benefit your Retirement Account by creating Above Market Returns.

It's not as difficult as you think to invest your retirement account into Alternative Investments. A popular way of taking advantage of the benefits of investing in Alternative Investments is having a Self-Directed IRA (SDIRA) set up by a company specializing in doing so. The process of setting one of these up takes approximately ten days.
