Arsenal Capital Partners thoughts?

Hey all I was wondering if anyone has any insight on Arsenal Capital Partners? Seems like a decent MM shop but not sure in terms where they rank with prestige, comp, lifestyle, and performance.

Any insight would be appreciated!

They used to be really good under Managing Partner Arsene Wenger for quite a few years (even had "invincible" returns in 2004).

They then suffered from chronic underinvestment in talent and subsequent talent flight to other competitors, most notably partner Henry leaving to Barcelona and have been languishing in mediocrity until Wenger was removed

They have cycled through quite a few Managing Partners who have ended disastrously, especially with Unai Emery who came with a strong pedigree.

They have recently had a Managing Partner who was developed in house and got a bit of experience at a top competitor and he's been developing the firm through young principals/associates such as Odegaard and Sake, so long term prospects are looking healthy
