FOCUS Online How do you justify that assessment?

Lück In the US, Inflation is not related to fundamental high. You could rise due to higher import prices, this would be a result of the Trump duties. The US Central Bank may not respond, but that would be a political mistake. In addition, we have an election year with an unpredictable, irrational US President, has not many options. The US Congress will not help him in the area of fiscal policy, structural policies, acts so quickly. So, only the monetary policy remains.

FOCUS Online For the Fed, the pressure therefore increases.

Lück : Donald Trump wrote on Twitter that he can fire the Fed Chairman at any time. He exerts massive pressure. And therefore has gone to the US-based Bank with three interest rate cuts by the end of 2019 from the line of fire.

About 15 years, the risk of loss is statistically Zero

FOCUS Online : they are for the United States more confident than for Europe?

Lück : Yes, but the risks must balance. An example: you build a Portfolio with a 60 percent U.S., 25 percent in Europe and 15 percent in emerging countries. Now, you have the risk of a devaluation of the Dollar, if the U.S. interest rates should decline. US stocks fall, then a currency related to the Euro-investors. If the US is weakening the Dollar, however, increase according to experience, shares from emerging countries. This way, you protect yourself.

FOCUS Online What needs to pay the investors?

Lück : anyone Who invests for the first time in the stock market money, you should do this in the long term. Over an investment horizon of 15 years, the risk of loss is statistically Zero. And the investor has to decide whether he entrusts his money to a Fund Manager, if he wishes to make no selection of stocks, or ETFs to buy.

FOCUS Online : What is talking to what?

Lück : you need to consider whether the portfolio Manager invests better than the market. In particular, in falling markets, active Management can protect the Depot. Investors must know what your risk tolerance is, how important are the costs and how more income can be achieved. When it comes to cost, you can also buy an ETF on the MSCI World.
