Management Information

John W. Rogers, Lead Manager since November 06, 1986
Founder, Chairman, Co-CEO and Chief Investment Officer; Lead Portfolio Manager, Ariel Fund Co-Portfolio Manager, Ariel Small Cap Value, Ariel Small Cap Value Concentrated, and Ariel Small/Mid Cap Value. John’s passion for investing began at age 12 when his father started buying him stocks as Christmas and birthday gifts. His interest in equities grew while in college and over the two-plus years he worked as a stockbroker for William Blair & Company. In 1983, he founded Ariel to invest in undervalued small- and medium-sized companies. While Ariel’s research capabilities have since expanded, his patient approach still anchors the firm today. John is active civically and professionally based on his belief that these engagements make him a better leader and a better investor. He is a member of the board of directors of NIKE, The New York Times Company, Ryan Specialty Group Holdings, and the Obama Foundation. John also serves on the board of trustees of the University of Chicago. John received an AB in economics from Princeton University, where he was also captain of the varsity basketball team.

Morningstar Category

While the investment objective stated in a fund's prospectus may or may not reflect how the fund actually invests, the Morningstar category is assigned based on the underlying securities in each portfolio. Morningstar categories help investors and investment professionals make meaningful comparisons between funds. The categories make it easier to build well-diversified portfolios, assess potential risk, and identify top-performing funds. We place funds in a given category based on their portfolio statistics and compositions over the past three years. If the fund is new and has no portfolio history, we estimate where it will fall before giving it a more permanent category assignment. When necessary, we may change a category assignment based on recent changes to the portfolio.
