There really is no single, ideal Ariel employee – our firm is exceptionally diverse, not only culturally and ethically, but also through the range of personalities and interests of our people. 

The people who do best at Ariel are thoughtful, competitive and focused.  They welcome accountability and realize there is always more to learn.  Ariel employees are passionate about investing and equally committed to their communities.  They measure personal success not solely by how much money they make as individuals, but also by the difference they make in the world.

By allocating resources to administrative issues, we allow our research analysts to focus on discovering new investments; our investment committee to concentrate on making investment decisions; our traders to tend solely to buying and selling securities; and our client service professionals to maintain strong customer relationships. In short, each of our employees focuses on his or her area of expertise —providing our clients with a highly successful team of specialists working on their behalf.   Our goal in this, as in all other areas of our business, is to establish a long-term track record of success — to be the type of company in which we ourselves would like to invest.  

Perhaps the greatest advantage to our clients stems from the fact that each and every Ariel Investments employee holds a financial stake in our firm. Moreover, by investing the majority of our own savings, profit sharing and retirement dollars in both our firm and our Mutual Funds, our personal financial success is squarely aligned with that of our investors. Every day we put our best foot forward, drawing upon the knowledge we have accumulated over the years — and gaining greater experience with each investment we make. We are grateful our clients give us the opportunity to run the race the Ariel way. True, the course traverses both mountains and valleys. But together we have journeyed far, and slowly and steadily we will reach further still.
