The biggest concern among investors in 2022 is the growing risk of runaway inflation not just in the United States but other countries. In most cases, the best hedge against inflation is often gold. But there are also inflation-proof stocks to consider.
If you are looking for inflation-proof stocks to consider right now, the following list should be ideal for you:
Federal Realty Investment Trust
The real estate industry often does well when the rate of inflation is high. After all, real assets are traditionally used as a hedge against rising prices. While not many investors want to buy property, you can still invest in real estate-related stocks.

The company is more of a conglomerate that invests in various industries. It has interests in commodities, real estate, industrials, and so much more.
Berkshire Hathaway
