Inflation affects investment in several ways. The returns of investments will be affected, it diminishes them and the rate of return of investment is lower than the inflation rate. The purchasing power of the investors will definitely decline too. Inflation impacts the performance of the different asset classes.
 
Inflation can also increase the price of the asset since the currency against which the asset competes is devaluing which means that the asset appreciates in value against said currency.
 
It all depends on the money you have to invest, inflation is a double-edged sword, when there is inflation there is also another phenomenon called asset inflation, you should document yourself on that.
 
Inflation makes it difficult for people to even take up investments because they might just be spending all their funds on sustenance and nothing left to invest with.
