REITs typically make up 5% to 10% of his firm's 10-year plus portfolio portfolio, with the exposure currently at the lower end of that range. In this environment, companies that are less sensitive to rising interest rates should outperform, said Morningstar's Brown.

But David Schassler, who co-manages the fund while also serving as VanEck's head of quantitative investment solutions, isn't taking a victory lap. Schassler added: "This severely limits the Fed's ability to successfully fight inflation without causing significant economic destruction." "It's not only that we own the right assets, but we've been overweight the right assets within the mix of inflation-fighting assets that we own," Schassler said. His three-step process is as follows: identify the right assets to own, optimize the portfolio by diversifying, and adapt to different inflation regimes. Examples of the right assets to own, in Schassler's view, are listed above.
