Investing In Freedom

Perth Tolle created the Life + LIberty Indexes on the theory that democracy pays. Her Freedom 100 Emerging Markets Index is proof, trouncing its autocracy-heavy benchmark in its first five years.

I've been watching this fund since its inception. Wes Gray and team helped Tolle set it up. It's a nice idea and tries to be systematic in an otherwise very subjective area of defining what "freedom" is. In reality, it's very correlated to US markets (0.84) which it has greatly underperformed, so don't think you're buying this and getting diversification. I would put this more in the ESG than global diversification bucket. A common mistake is judging assets by its country and thinking that that's diversification. I'd pass on this fund or other EM funds and instead look to managed futures.

What a thoughtful idea. I love that she has applied her life lessons to investments. A pro freedom etf. Keep it up

Freedom, freedom, freedom.

Awesome. Thank you. Hoping that she will invest in Iran soon.

I'll stick with U.S. based dividend growth companies. Emerging markets are not for me whether in the FRDM index or not. Not a big fan of these thematic ETFs. Their performance compared to the S&P 500 over the long-term is mediocre at best.

[@kimchan7189]

Excellent. It's much, much better than ESG.

Right, who needs a livable environment, a fairer more equitable society and basic education and infrastructure? Everyone for themselves!!!

[@duhbigcat1848]

@@royprovins7037 lol, that is hilarious. I can't imagine reading lots of Plato would help with any real world problem. That is the absolutely most off the wall troll response. Would you care to elaborate, or do I need to find 1,000 pages of Plato to read first?

I do not invest in any fund or company that oppresses its people. Let freedom ring.

The data sources Toole is using to score India are blatantly biased. Internet issue in Kashmir was for a short period as it transitioned out of its special status. No issues since. Similarly farmers riots by separatists was delt with a lot more leniency when compared to the recent brutal crack down on college campuses in the USA. Wonder how the data sources would score a US response to having a separatistists flying something other than the star spangled banner on top of capitol hill...or some other prominent US monument.

China’s loss was the world’s gain. Excellent guest.

Makes sense

[@Fiwithoptions]

Very interesting idea. Thank you. 👍

[@mrlakuda]

This emerging markets fund includes S. Korea and Taiwan?! That's nuts. Both countries are very advanced and have living standards comparable to the West. Not buying.

[@deannahouston8801]

So glad you had this lady on! Opened my eyes to a whole new investment world.

Promoting more lottery tickets. Takes the royalties market place to oblivion. If you can't hold it you don't own it.

Pro freedom is the right way but China is doing just as well economically or much better than the countries on the list she referenced. So are many of the gulf states.

Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got to talking about investment and money. I started investing with $150k and in the first 2 months, my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and get more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.
