"Ariel Global Fund finished 2025 with an outperforming trailing 1-year return of +23.30%. The managers are actively rotating capital away from fully-valued names toward mispriced international equities and selective AI beneficiaries."
Ariel Global Fund reported a +2.88% return for the final quarter of 2025, trailing its benchmark. However, over the trailing one-year period, the fund returned +23.30%, outperforming the MSCI ACWI. The commentary highlights strong performances from First Solar, Lasertec, and SK Hynix.
