Ariel Investments

Ariel Fund Turns Forty.

For four decades, Ariel Fund has been guided by the same belief that inspired its launch in 1986: patient, long-term investing.

On this 40th anniversary, we want to express our appreciation to our shareholders for their confidence and trust—we are deeply grateful.

We also celebrate John W. Rogers, Jr., Chairman and Co-CEO of Ariel Investments, who has guided the fund as Lead Portfolio Manager since its inception, a rare distinction in the mutual fund industry.

Looking forward to the next 40 years. Slow and steady wins the race.

A third-generation utility services executive with nearly 20 years at Pike Corporation, we believe Simmons's operating experience and understanding of what utilities need from a long-term partner make him the right leader for Front Line's next chapter of long-term grid investment.
