Wealth Management for Corporate executives
How we help corporate executives with wealth management
At Rothschild & Co, we understand that corporate executives lead demanding lives, often with little time to focus on personal financial matters. Our team has extensive experience working with FTSE executives and other senior leaders, offering expert advice that aligns with your evolving career, family priorities, and long-term goals.
We focus on discretionary portfolio management, creating globally diversified portfolios that preserve and grow your wealth in real terms.
Many of our clients find that working with us helps them structure their wealth into clear, purposeful ‘pots’—bringing clarity to long-term goals, family planning, and legacy.
We can help you:
Preserve and grow your wealth ahead of inflation
Manage your liquidity
Navigate bonus cycles, personal trading rules, and exit windows
Plan for life beyond the boardroom and prepare for the unexpected
Pass on wealth efficiently
CASE STUDIES
Below, we present two client case studies that highlight how creating a financial plan for corporate executives can differ at various career milestones - such as stepping into a CEO role or approaching retirement. These examples illustrate how we’ve helped clients streamline their financial affairs, optimise wealth structures, and align their long-term goals
Accumulating assets as a corporate executive
Our client is a 56-year-old CEO of a FTSE 250 company, married with two adult children aged 18 and 19. When our client was introduced to Rothschild & Co, he was looking for professional wealth management to streamline his financial affairs and free up personal time.
Approaching retirement as a corporate executive
Our client is the former CEO of a global company listed in the UK. He is married with adult children, who are starting families of their own.
As a corporate executive, our Client Advisers are a great sounding board for your financial questions. Below we answer some of the most common questions they have been asked.
How can I diversify my asset base?
This is a common question among corporate executives. At Rothschild & Co, we proactively manage your investments to target inflation-beating returns. When first meeting corporate executives, we often find that a significant portion of their personal capital is tied up in company shares. Consequently, their wealth tends to be concentrated in to two of our five pots: their lifestyle pot (which includes their primary residence) and their business pot (their long term company equity). We often advise executives on how they can diversify their assets. For many, this diversification is achieved through a long-term investment portfolio – a nest egg.
How is Rothschild & Co different?
We have a specialist team dedicated to working with corporate executives. This team understands your requirements and can deliver relevant solutions to your circumstances. We have market-leading client service* and our pricing is transparent and straightforward, with an all-in annual management fee based on the assets we manage, ensuring no hidden charges. We also don’t impose any account opening or closing costs.
Our ‘bottom-up’ investment strategy focuses on individual assets rather than market trends, aiming for long-term returns that outpace inflation. We conduct extensive research into the individual stocks and funds, seeking opportunities that align with our clients’ goals.

How can I simplify my pensions?
Many of the corporate executives we work with have built up pension savings across multiple employer schemes, which can make managing retirement planning complex. At Rothschild & Co Wealth Management, we offer a coordinated review of your existing pension arrangements. Where appropriate, we can help consolidate these into a Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP), with Rothschild & Co appointed as your investment manager. This approach not only simplifies your pension structure but also ensures your assets are aligned with a long-term, robust investment strategy.
Is it easy to set up an account or move my wealth to Rothschild & Co?
Yes, we have a specialist team dedicated to working with corporate executives who are here to make this easy for you. We can open accounts electronically (with pre-completed forms sent digitally to you) and our team are able to liaise and arrange any transfers or investments on your behalf.
Do you offer anything other than investments?
Our core offering is discretionary investments, but we work with our clients across a range of areas. We provide custody and executions services, alongside pro-active cash management, offshore private banking and portfolio lending.
We can prepare detailed cashflow modelling to help grow your asset base and frame important investment decisions, such as the impact of moving home, when to retire or maximising the returns on your income.
