FYI: Patience is usually considered to be a virtue except when it comes to investing. Investors are notoriously impatient when the funds they are in underperform the market for a few years. The magic number seems to be three. Key investment lessons from the financial crisis with Ariel Investments’ Charlie Bobrinskoy.

The fund this guy manages (ARFFX) clearly stinks on ice; he is listed as the sole manager. ARFFFFFF! Somehow the host apparently linked him to the better-performing Ariel Fund (which doesn't identify him as a manager or co-manager). I would not be surprised to see ARFFX "reorganized" into the Ariel fund to erase its sub-par performance. Thanks for posting this.
@Jim0445: For what it's worth, I've never been a fan of John Rogers and Ariel Funds. Like his latest stunt, putting Eric Holder on the Ariel Board. Regards, Ted
