Since our founding in 1983, much has changed in the investment world, but a clear mission has consistently defined who we are and what we do.
Our patient investment philosophy
We use the market's short-term focus to uncover mispriced companies whose true value will be realized over time.
Our focus
We began as a small- and mid-cap value manager, and evolved strategically to offer three approaches - all of which seek out attractive intrinsic value through relatively concentrated portfolios.
Our culture of learning
Intensive fundamental research is essential to our proprietary investment processes. We also value the importance of learning in a broader context and are committed to promoting education and financial literacy.
Our commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
At Ariel, we are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) throughout all parts of our organization. We also believe that what gets measured gets done. Our firm is dedicated to what we call “the 3 Ps,” which guide our DEI strategy and how we assess our progress:
- People: We know that when diversity spans all levels of an organization, corporations are better.
- Purchasing: We believe that when contractual relationships with minority-owned businesses are encouraged, companies grow.
- Philanthropy: We invest in the world we want to see. Our philanthropic contributions support organizations dedicated to advancing civil rights, improving public education, and promoting cultural expression and community well-being.
*Assets under management as of June 30, 2022 include $1.18 billion for Ariel Alternatives, a subsidiary of Ariel Investments, which reflects aggregate commitments and excludes fund specific leverage.
