To further clarify the interest rate paid on the Traditional Account in the past I have records of having received 11% in my RA. I believe it has paid an interest rate as high as 13% which is why I describe it as having been a good hedge against inflation in the past. As to whether or not it will be as good a hedge of future inflation I must admit my crystal ball does not respond! In short there is no guarantee it will perform as well in the future as it has in the past but I do believe it will continue to be a good hedge against inflation.
