About Rothschild & Co
Rothschild & Co is a family-controlled financial services group that describes itself as one of the world's largest and longest-established independent groups in its field. Its three businesses are Global Advisory, Wealth and Asset Management, and Five Arrows, its private equity and private debt arm. In its 2025 annual review the group reported 72 locations in 50 countries and a headcount of 4,866, excluding interns.
The group traces its records to 1769 and Mayer Amschel Rothschild. The first partnership agreement was drawn up in 1810, and the five brothers later set up businesses in London, Paris, Vienna, Naples and Frankfurt. The French and UK businesses merged in 2003 under David de Rothschild, Five Arrows was created in 2009, and the French wealth management business merged with Banque Martin Maurel in 2016. The group delisted from Euronext Paris in 2023. Rothschild & Co says it is in its seventh generation of family leadership. Alexandre de Rothschild is Executive Chairman and chairs the Management Board, and Marc-Olivier Laurent chairs the Supervisory Board.
Global Advisory covers mergers and acquisitions, financing, restructuring and liability management, and global markets solutions. In 2025 it completed 694 transactions worth 673 billion dollars. Wealth and Asset Management held about 143 billion euros of assets, and Five Arrows about 31 billion euros. In 2026 the group said it advised ABF on the demerger of Primark and FoodCo, and McCormick on its combination with Unilever Foods.
On 15 June 2026 Rothschild & Co signed an agreement to buy all the shares of Marcard, Stein & Co, a Hamburg private bank, subject to regulatory approval. The purchase would give the group a German banking licence. Its 2025 annual review also describes further development of its offering in Dubai.
For 2025 the group reported revenue of 2,986 million euros, operating income of 713 million euros and net income, group share, of 413 million euros. The group remains privately held and family-controlled.
