Interview with Pasquale Sacchetta President of CFIG Wealth Management Discussing Interest Rate-Inflation Risk – Business Innovators Radio Network

 Pasquale Sacchetta, the president of CFIG Wealth Management, emphasized a crucial point about inflation – it impacts the value of the currency, not just the prices of goods and services. He explained that inflation signifies a decrease in the value of the dollar, leading to a reduction in purchasing power over time. This insight is vital for individuals to grasp as it highlights the broader implications of inflation on their financial well-being. While many associate inflation with rising prices, understanding its effect on currency value underscores the importance of protecting against its consequences. Pasquale noted that inflation can significantly influence investment decisions, retirement planning, and overall financial stability. 

Recognizing that inflation erodes the purchasing power of money enables individuals to make more informed choices regarding their investments and financial strategies. It stresses the need to adjust portfolios, seek higher returns to outpace inflation and consider long-term implications when planning for retirement or other financial goals. This understanding empowers individuals to take proactive steps to mitigate the wealth erosion caused by inflation and make strategic financial decisions. 

Pasquale highlighted the importance of adjusting your portfolio strategically to ensure that your returns exceed the impact of inflation. By doing so, you can safeguard your purchasing power and ensure that your investments grow in real terms. This proactive approach involves ongoing monitoring and adjustments to your investment strategy to stay ahead of inflationary pressures. 

Furthermore, he emphasized the significance of rebalancing your portfolio while considering risk and volatility. Striking a balance between seeking higher returns and managing associated risks is essential. Simply increasing risk to chase higher returns in an inflationary environment can lead to potential losses.

Pasquale said: “The duration of a bond portfolio is very important. If you go out 30 years, you’re taking the highest interest rate risk and inflation risk there is. So, if you go short term and your duration let’s say, is five years or less, then you’re not taking as much risk on the actual valuations, the changes in the value of the bonds.”

By focusing on long-term goals, regularly reviewing your portfolio, and making informed adjustments, you can mitigate the impact of inflation on your investments. Pasquale’s advice underscores the need for a well-thought-out investment strategy that considers inflation and interest rate risks, ultimately helping you preserve and grow your wealth effectively.
