We have been at the heart of the world’s financial markets, and the benchmark for outstanding client service, for more than two centuries.
These words have underpinned the way we do things for more than 200 years; they still stand at the core of our approach to our businesses, our clients, our people and our sense of responsibility.
We are like the mechanism of a watch... each part is essential."
Salomon von Rothschild
to his brother Nathan Mayer Rothschild, c.1818
And when his five sons expanded the business across Europe at the turn of the 19th century they, in turn, appreciated the importance of close collaboration, trusted relationships and detailed local market knowledge, which remain as important to Rothschild & Co today as they did then.
These qualities were enshrined in the foundation document of our modern business, the Rothschild family’s first partnership agreement, created by Mayer Amschel in 1810. The tenets of the agreement became the model adopted by his five sons as they established the business in the financial centres of Europe: London, Paris, Vienna, Naples and Frankfurt.
Supported by their wives and extended connections, the brothers established the family business' reputation and network in new markets. By investing in expertise, their businesses became seen as the authority on new ventures and markets.
We have remained at the centre of the world’s financial markets for more than two centuries, through changing times and upheavals. An “eighteenth century start-up”, we have retained an entrepreneurial spirit, embracing innovation and never resting on our laurels.
Our heritage provides us with both a strong foundation and a clear vision for the future.”
