Wednesday, November 2, 2016 Don't Email John Rogers Think before you email a fundster. At least one mutual fund industry CEO, John Rogers of Chicago-based Ariel Investments [profile], avoids email as a "distraction," Reuters reports. An Ariel spokeswoman tells the wire service that Rogers' staff acts as email gatekeepers, printing up important emails and putting them on his chair. Rogers, Reuters reveals, prefers in-person or phone conversation to written ones.
