Rothschild has operated in Australia for nearly 180 years and was instrumental to the financing and growth of modern Australia.
At first, Rothschild representatives were responsible for early exploration of opportunities and discoveries in the country, bringing European funding and finance knowledge to the nascent business communities and Governments of Australia.
From copper mining to involvement in the gold rush, stock exchanges and even the naming of Rothschilds' Rock Wallaby, Rothschild provided a crucial link between European capital and Australian opportunity.
Through the 1850s gold rush, Rothschild played a key role in financing the goldfields, effectively bridging European capital with Australian enterprise. Through trusted partnerships, such as with the Montefiore family, Rothschild not only facilitated gold trading but also funded essential infrastructure to the gold fields. By the end of the decade, much of the gold extracted from Victoria had flowed through Rothschild’s network.
Two years before Europeans saw Uluru for the first time, as the world’s leading bond issuer, Rothschild raised a million pounds for the construction of railways in NSW, with over a thousand kilometres of track laid down by 1880.
In 1967, Rothschild opened a new merchant bank on Pitt Street, initially as a joint venture, which became the first privately owned international bank to be granted an Australian banking authority.
In March 1998, Rothschild Group was one of the first financial institutions granted a full banking licence under the Australian Financial System Reforms 1997, which classified it as an authorised deposit taking institution under the Banking Act (1959).
Since then, Rothschild & Co has advised on some of the biggest transactions in Australian history, across mining, aviation, retail, defence, and telecoms sectors.
