Invest in companies that will benefit from inflation. Ones with low capital and debt requirements. This happens to be most of the S&P500 these days already.

Companies that have a large amount of fixed rate debt on their books may benefit as well.

Probably depends on the duration of the bonds? I'd have thought anyone holding long term bonds when interest rates rise is going to be hurting.

You're right that holding debt through an interest rate rise will hurt, but I think the parent poster meant companies that issue debt, not ones that hold it.
