What's Stagflation Anyway?

Adding to those concerns are the often-confusing headlines from the news media. Especially when talking heads start throwing out terms that many folks don’t understand. One of those terms we’ve heard a lot lately is stagflation.”  So, what is it?

Stagflation is defined by stagnant economic growth and elevated inflation. This type of environment is particularly troublesome for investors, as it negatively impacts both stock and bond products (which normally counterbalance each other in a long-term investment plan).

Are we in a period of stagflation now? If so, is it something you need to worry about? This expert white paper discusses stagflation, its risks, and whether investors have reason for concern.
