Rothschild & Co receives two prestigious 'Deal of the Year' awards from IFR

Global Advisory has been recognised with two IFR “Deal of the Year” awards for its outstanding advisory services on landmark restructuring transactions in EMEA and the Americas. 

 

The Awards

1. Restructuring Deal of the Year, Americas  

FTX's US$14.7bn restructuring. This highly complex transaction required multiple settlements with competing creditors and customer groups spread globally, while navigating governmental investigations and litigation disputes, all under a highly public process.

Rothschild & Co Added Value

We advised the ad hoc group creditor group holding a majority of customer claims, leading negotiations which resulted in novel plan of reorganization terms that have driven outstanding recovery levels.  We continue to support the FTX estate in the ongoing multi-billion-dollar asset disposition process to return proceeds to claimholders. 

 

2. Restructuring Deal of the Year, EMEA

Altice France's €25bn restructuring. The transaction represents one of the largest debt restructurings completed in Europe, the Middle East and Africa during 2025. The restructuring was a complex process primarily due to its sheer size and the use of comprehensive liability management tactics. 

Rothschild & Co Added Value

We leveraged our global network to unite over 200 AFSA creditors to evaluate restructuring options, discussed sustainable capital levels and conducted financial analyses. We negotiated and crafted favourable financial terms to be implemented through various legal proceedings across Europe and the US.

Bonds, ballots, and the elephant in the room

Markets are navigating geopolitical uncertainty, shifting interest-rate expectations and the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence. Resilient economic activity, healthy corporate profitability and continued technology investment remain supportive, although higher oil prices, rising bond yields and political risks highlight the value of a measured, long-term investment approach.

Asset Management: Monthly Macro Insights - September 2026

Investments linked to artificial intelligence continue to support global growth, but they are also contributing to a sustained rise in long-term interest rates. At the same time, geopolitical tensions and uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve’s communication are maintaining a more fragile economic environment.

 Back to the future

In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has taken centre stage, fuelled by spectacular promises and applications that are now very much a reality. We have already noted on several occasions that this revolution is underpinned by less visible building blocks, such as strategic metals, data centres and electricity grids. Recent developments invite us to broaden that perspective even further.

 Corporate cash: the decision

Many business owners accumulate cash without a clear strategy. By separating operational, reserve and surplus capital, businesses can improve resilience, reduce concentration risk, manage tax considerations more effectively, and ensure excess cash supports longer-term business and personal objectives.
