Young Black Professional Guide Ariel Mutual Funds Invest Giving BackWould you like to get great returns on your money AND support black-owned businesses? How? Easy. Invest in Ariel Mutual Funds. Ariel Capital Management, L.L.C. was founded in 1983 by John W. Rogers, Jr. At it’s inception, Ariel offered the Ariel Fund, utilizing a small/mid-cap investment strategy. Now also offering the Ariel Appreciation Fund, which focuses purely on mid-cap investments, and the Ariel Focus Fund, a mid/large-cap investment option, Ariel has grown to manage over $16 billion in assets. The familiar ethic of “slow and steady wins the race” from Aesop’s fable The Turtoise and the Hare is not only Ariel’s motto, but is also its investment strategy and has kept Ariel plodding along amidst economic downturns such as the dot com bust, the recession, and an unstable market caused by Sept. 11th. Currently headed by Mellody Hudson, Ariel offers a consistent and reliable way for you to grow your money and give back to our community.

    This is definitely something everyone should consider. I saw John Rogers speak (with Barack Obama, no less) at the Black MBA Conference at Northwestern. Definitely a good guy.

    I might need to look at moving some of my stuff over. The greatest asset we have with our investments is the fact that we’re young.

    The principle of compound interest is your friend. :-)
