Inflation offers investment opportunities, expert claims
Tue, 19 Aug 2008
One investment fund offers people a number of ways to profit from rising inflation, according to it manager.

Aruna Larunathilake, manager of Fidelity's UK Aggressive investment fund, explained that although many view inflation as a negative as it causes costs to rise, it still offers opportunities.

He said: "UK equity investors can not only protect themselves from higher prices, but also seek to profit from them."

Mr Larunathilake suggested that utility firms will prove good investments as they can pass on increased productions costs to customers.

Firms dealing in natural resources such as gas and oil should also prove a worthwhile investment, he added.

Yesterday, Gervais Williams, head of UK smaller companies at investment firm Gartmore, claimed that such firms could offer people a decent return on their money .

He believes that the share price of many companies is currently under-valued and could be set to rise in the near future.

The technology sector in the UK should prove a particularly good investment, he added.
