The fund announced a loss of 7 percent in the first year, but significantly better than the dynamics of DAX prices (reduced 16 percent). Müller said the portfolio was insured with options and many reserves were available for cheap investment. He refused certain investments such as weapons for ethical reasons.

Two years after the funds were launched, the shares lost more than ten percent of their value, even though the market – like the MSCI world with an increase of 2% – grew during the same period.

Career highlights

In the context of the Euro crisis, he believes that the current financial system is “in the end” and must “start again” every year. Mueller himself described this as “restart”. In an article for Compact, Right Wing Populist magazine, Müller said in 2011 that Wall Street targeted massive attacks on Europe. He also predicted that the war in Iran would be the next logical step. He also did not believe that Euro was beneficial for all Germans and promoted European union. In his opinion, the introduction of Euro is too early and is a “cardinal mistake”. For Germany, not only a sign, but also “main euro” is possible. Greek debt restructuring and the possibility of the exit of countries from the Euro cannot be avoided. Müller criticized the alleged inability of politicians. He said: “Most [politicians] do not know what is happening,” and “Our prominent economic research institute does not even recognize the recession when it has been raging for six months.”

Greek crisis

In connection with the Greek crisis, Müller believes in 2011 that banks can no longer perform their functions in the real economy because they do not learn anything from the first financial crisis. Müller accused politicians of only enriching themselves in a crisis and delaying problems to delay inevitable. He asked politicians to free himself from the bank. Taxpayers may not be responsible for bank errors.

Monetary system

According to Müller, the main problem of the crisis is compound interest and money creation by private banks as debt. It offers a complete restructuring of the existing currency system through a sovereign currency system. He sees improvements and other alternatives in the banking system, in regional money (ChieMGUER) and in tax preferences regarding venture wages and capital.
