Arvest Asset Management in Lowell, which sells investment products of Kemper Funds Group in New York, held an invitation-only reception Jan. 11 at the Northwest Arkansas Holiday Inn and Convention Center in Springdale.
Robert J. Froehlich, vice president of Kemper’s Zurich Scudder Investments Inc., was the featured speaker.
With more than 750 in attendance, Froehlich outlined his 10 investment strategies for 2001 before fielding questions from the audience. He identified China, Japan and Germany as three potentially lucrative markets and said technology would rebound.
“Going forward, the demand for technology will reappear,” Froehlich said. “It’s not a novelty item, it’s a revolution. And this revolution spans everything from heating most buildings to handling inventory to drilling for oil.”
Arvest Asset manages more than $4 billion in client assets through its 20 locations, in Northwest Arkansas, Oklahoma and southwest Missouri.
Froehlich, who has a doctorate in public policy from California Western University, develops the investment themes and ideas that shape Kemper’s strategies. He is frequently quoted by, and featured in, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and Barron’s and Forbes.
