Rothschild – Advisers to the world’s emerging markets

Although the firm remains best known for its work in Europe, Rothschild’s advisory and deal-making business in emerging markets is making rapid progress. Sudip Roy reports.

Rothschild widens its net

NEARLY 200 YEARS ago, the Rothschild family established itself as the power broker of Europe by financing the UK and its allies ­during the Napoleonic wars. The firm maintains its grip on the continent to this day. Last year, Rothschild was the busiest corporate adviser in Europe, working on deals for Xstrata, BMW, Rio Tinto, the German finance ministry and the Dutch government among others.

The bank, however, is also making its mark beyond Europe – in particular in the emerging markets.
