They have 100% fired multiple PMs and analysts, along with the head of the business development team and several BD people.
Edited to fix error
Don't know about PMs, but the head of the business has been Matt Simon since inception. He founded the business about 5 yrs ago and he still runs it. Hopefully the rest of your intel is more accurate than that.
OP; I guess my intel was wrong so my apologies. I may join as a senior associate soon and have heard conflicting opinions. Just hoping to learn about a good platform

Ashler was intended to be more LT and stable but is just surveyor/GE with another name. They've definitely fired PMs - but I don't know relative turnover at Ashler vs other platforms.
Unless risk limits are materially different, Ashler PM will have to do the same quarterly positioning as other pod PMs. The LT/stability nature are just buzzwords by HR/bizdev.
agree. Originally launched to be LT concentrated holdings. Now just GE, Surveyor, Raveling, Aptigon 5.0. Have not fired head of business as it has indeed been Matt.
Sorry I meant head of business development team.
I know Matt started/runs it. It was originally pitched as a LT/quasi constructivist fund but is now the typical pod model. I’m not sure how involved he is with the industrial names anymore but that was his original coverage.
