Mr. Ashton is a pioneer in the U.S. inflation derivatives market. Prior to founding Enduring Investments, Mr. Ashton worked for several large investment banks as a relative value strategist and as an options and inflation trader. Since 2003, when he traded the first interbank U.S. CPI swaps, and 2004 when he invented and was the lead market maker for the CME’s CPI Futures contract, he has played an integral role in developing new instruments and methods for accessing and hedging various inflation exposures.

Widely known by his trademarked moniker “the Inflation Guy,” Mr. Ashton is a frequent industry speaker and lecturer on inflation topics as well as an architect of inflation indexed products for hedging real exposures.
