PLANSPONSOR features J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s research, “Keepin’ it Real: Inflation Risk as an Asset Allocation Problem,” and quotes Maddi Dessner of the Global Multi-Asset Group, who explains how defined benefit (DB) and defined contribution (DC) plans are affected differently by inflation.*

The PLANSPONSOR article details the five key findings of the publication: inflation is cyclical; inflation shocks are not the biggest risk to portfolio returns; insurance against unexpected inflation can be critical; every asset comes with risks; and narrow solutions are inappropriate.
