Ariel at a glance
At Ariel, we have learned that one of life’s greatest lessons also holds true when investing: slow and steady wins the race. We believe that the most successful investors proceed, not by sudden leaps and bounds, but by the painstaking work of research, stock selection and investment monitoring. Just like the fabled tortoise, the symbol of our firm, we value patience and persistence over the fleeting and flashy. For more than 27 years, patience has been our way of evaluating companies, making investment decisions and even running our firm.

Ariel Fund and Ariel Appreciation Fund invest primarily in small and mid-sized companies. Investing in small and mid-cap stocks is riskier and more volatile than investing in large cap stocks. Ariel Focus Fund is a non-diversified fund and therefore may be subject to greater volatility than a more diversified investment.
Investing in equity stocks is risky and subject to the volatility of
the markets. Investors should consider carefully the investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses before investing.
