What does the premium metric signify in long-term asset positioning?

The premium represents the absolute wealth deficit generated by selecting low-volatility preservation products over long-term compound equity assets during multi-year growth periods.

How does inflation impact the real purchasing power of Fixed Deposits?

When headline consumer inflation approximates or exceeds nominal fixed-interest bank coupons, real post-tax purchasing growth can remain flat or contract.
