Fulli-Lemaire, Nicolas (2012): A Dynamic Inflation Hedging Trading Strategy Using a CPPI. Published in: Journal of Finance & Risk Perspective , Vol. 1, No. 2 (December 2012): pp. 89-111.

Abstract

This article tries to solve the portfolio inflation hedging problem by introducing a new class of dynamic trading strategies derived from classic portfolio insurance techniques adapted to the real world. These strategies aim at yielding higher returns on a risk-adjusted basis than regular inflation hedging portfolio allocation while achieving a lower cost than comparable option-based guaranteed real value strategies.
