Fremont Group

About Fremont Group

Fremont Group is the private investment office of the Bechtel family, headquartered in San Francisco. Its roots lie in the early investments of the Bechtel Group, a leading global engineering, construction and project management company founded in 1898. Fremont Group was formed in 1980 as a Bechtel Group subsidiary and became a separate entity in 1986. Bechtel remains private and is in its fifth generation of family leadership. Fremont's strategy is to find opportunities, wherever they arise, that offer potential for superior returns while minimizing the risk of permanent capital loss. It invests for the long term, looks for opportunities that others cannot pursue, and can move quickly to capture them. Its success as an investor rests on the values of integrity, fair dealing, teamwork, innovation and sound judgment. Fremont invests directly through teams of professionals it sponsors, and also through external managers. Because of its operating orientation and its commitment to partnering with managers and portfolio companies to create value over the medium to long term, it regards itself as a business investor. The group oversees these businesses: BF (Bechtel Family) Global, Fremont Private Holdings, Fremont Realty Capital and Fremont Macanta.
