Additional Reading from MarketBeat Media 3 Smart Investments If Interest Rates Stay Higher for LongerAuthor: Chris Markoch. First Published: 3/23/2026.

- Special Report: MAJOR BUY ALERT: Mar-a-Lago/Trump/Elon
 The March Federal Reserve meeting made clear that investors face a different backdrop than they did at the start of the year. Heading into 2026, many had hoped for two, three, or even more interest rate cuts. Falling interest rates benefit companies that rely on cheap capital — one reason speculative stocks performed well in 2025. But inflation, by commonly used measures, remains stubbornly above the Federal Reserve's target. That prompted Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to leave open the possibility of higher rates. Higher rates may be unlikely, but a "higher-for-longer" environment now looks more probable. That means seeking investments that can benefit from persistent inflation without depending on aggressive Fed easing. Put another way: investors should look beyond "what hedges inflation" to "what hedges inflation and still works if real rates stay elevated." That narrows the field to targeted exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and companies that own physical assets with the ability to raise prices or fees as costs across the economy climb. Global Real Estate Exposure Helps VNQI Navigate Higher Rates Real estate investment trusts (REITs) tend to do well when rates fall but can be hit-or-miss in a higher-rate environment. One way to remain exposed to real estate while managing rate risk is via an ETF. In addition to a dividend with a yield around 4.5%, there are several reasons to consider the Vanguard Global ex-U.S. Real Estate ETF (NASDAQ: VNQI). It charges an ultra-low net expense ratio (0.12%) and manages roughly $3.5 billion in assets, providing ample liquidity for trading. Despite a recent pullback, VNQI has still delivered a total return of around 10% over the past 12 months. Investors should note the fund's positioning: VNQI offers broader geographic exposure compared with many U.S.-centric real estate REITs. With capital flowing into emerging markets, some international exposure can help navigate volatility in the sector. MLPX ETF Offers Income and Stability in a Volatile Energy Market Energy stocks, particularly oil and gas names, have benefited from higher crude prices — but the sector is volatile. To mitigate that turbulence, consider midstream companies that operate pipelines, or service firms that see demand rise as exploration increases. That makes a case for the Global X MLP & Energy Infrastructure ETF (NYSEARCA: MLPX). The fund is up over 22% in 2026 and pays a dividend yielding roughly 4%. The ETF provides exposure to both U.S. and Canadian oil markets, and more than 84% of its holdings are in the Oil & Gas Storage & Transportation sector. That gives investors access to the pipelines and infrastructure likely to remain central as the U.S. invests in energy projects. Another supporting factor: institutional investors increased their holdings in Q4 2025, before the conflict with Iran. Continued institutional interest could be bullish for the ETF. Equinix Stock Delivers Growth Through Pricing Power and Data Demand For investors preferring individual stocks, Equinix Inc. (NASDAQ: EQIX) is an attractive option. The specialized REIT sits at the intersection of long-term demand for data centers and a business model built on contractual, long-term revenue streams. With revenue expected to rise, Equinix should be less sensitive to interest-rate moves — appealing to investors seeking growth that can outpace inflation. As of March 23, EQIX is up just over 2% in 2026, which keeps its dividend yield around 2.2%. The payout per share is $20.64 and has grown at about a 12% annual rate over the past three years. Despite a roughly $955 share price that some view as expensive, analysts continue to raise price targets. Institutional buying remains steady, outpacing selling by about 2.5-to-1, which supports the stock's outlook. |
