A moderate level of inflation signals economic activity, but persistent high inflation weakens savings and fixed-income returns. To protect real wealth, investors often seek assets that outpace price growth — such as equities or real estate. Findex allows users to visualise inflation-adjusted portfolio growth, ensuring that apparent gains translate into actual purchasing power rather than nominal increases. Monitoring inflation trends clarifies whether your money is working hard enough to keep up with the cost of living.
