John D. Freeman

Freeman Investment Management Co.'s investment approach is based on the idea that low volatility stocks offer higher risk-adjusted returns. The firm believes that while most of the equity market, as defined by the Russell 3000 Index, is efficiently priced, about one-third of it is not. They believe that investors are rarely, if ever, adequately compensated for the risk accompanying the most volatile stocks. The firm offers market beta, alternative beta and zero beta strategies. Their market beta strategies include: Large-Cap Core, Large-Cap Core Value and Large-Cap Value. Freeman's Alternative Beta strategies include: Efficient Value and Small-Cap Efficient Value. The firm's Zero Beta strategy is referred to as Fair Value. The firm's flagship market beta strategies, Large-Cap Core and Large-Cap Core Value, are benchmarked against the S&P 500 index and maintain a value bias while seeking to outperform the Russell 1000 without style restrictions. Their Large-Cap Value market beta strategy employs a pure value investment approach that is benchmarked against the Russell 1000. Freeman's Alternative Beta Efficient Value strategy invests in a portfolio of the most stable and fundamentally attractive stocks with low volatility/downside risk that offer much more compelling risk -adjusted returns than the benchmark. Their Alternative Beta Small-Cap Efficient Value strategy seeks to add value while simultaneously reducing exposure to uncompensated total volatility. Freeman's Zero Beta Fair Value investment strategy is a deep value, low beta strategy that seeks to capitalize on the respectively high and low risk-adjusted returns to low and high volatility stocks. Though not limited by sector, the firm tends to invest in the stocks of US companies in the finance, consumer non-durables and health technology sectors. Freeman invests across all market-caps. They maintain a high turnover rate.
