Inflation Risk

通货膨胀风险是任何投资者持有现金或投资与通货膨胀无关的资产时承担的风险。风险是现金价值将通过通货膨胀降低。例如，如果投资者持有1,000,000美元投资组合的现金和通货膨胀率为5％的40％，则由于通货膨胀，投资组合的现金价值每年将损失20,000美元（100万美元x 0.4 x 0.05）。

Portfolio performance after inflation has been taken into account is called 'real return'. Inflation can erode the value of returns. Say an investor holds government bonds which pay 2% per year but inflation is 5%, in real terms they will be losing 3% per year and when the bond reaches maturity the final value payment will have been reduced by inflation.
