Asset allocation for a high-inflation, low-growth decade?

I’m reviewing research for the 2026–2030 cycle that suggests we are entering a period of sticky inflation driven by tariffs and deficits, alongside a weakening labor market that headline GDP isn't capturing. The argument is that standard nominal bonds will fail to protect purchasing power if the Fed cuts rates to support the economy while inflation remains above target. Is there a prudent case for tilting towards Small Cap Value, Gold, and Managed Futures to hedge this specific environment, or is this just unnecessary complexity compared to a standard total market approach?
