FYI: John Rogers is a double anomaly. At a time when investors are increasingly turning to index funds, he picks individual stocks. And at a time when the market prefers growth-oriented companies, he buys value-priced shares. A former basketball star at Princeton, he launched Chicago-based Ariel Investments in 1983, at age 25. The firm’s flagship public fund, Ariel Fund ( ARGFX
opened three years later. He’s still lead manager of Ariel, which has returned an annualized 11.6% over the past decade, beating the Russell 2500 Value index by an average of 1.7 percentage points a year. (Returns and other data are as of September 14.)
