Rothschild & Co Wealth Management (“WMUK”)
At Rothschild & Co Wealth Management, we provide a comprehensive range of private wealth services to some of the world’s wealthiest and most successful families, entrepreneurs, foundations and charities. In an environment where short-term thinking often dominates, our long-term perspective to wealth management sets us apart.
Our clients are looking to preserve and grow the real value of their capital. We seek to be sensible custodians, managing our clients' money as if it were our own. Our founding family are one of the few to have successfully preserved their wealth over many generations and we aim to replicate this success for our clients.
The three largest operations within Rothschild & Co Wealth Management are: France (including Benelux), Switzerland (including Germany) and the UK.
The UK business, with on the ground operations in London, Guernsey, Manchester, Birmingham, and Leeds, focuses on discretionary investment management for wealthy families. We seek to be a long-term partner for our clients with a focus on wealth preservation and growth in real terms. We can also provide banking services for our clients, lending (Lombard loans and mortgages) and execution only accounts.
Fundamental to our business model is separation of client relationship and investment management responsibilities. We have a dedicated investment team who are responsible for all discretionary investment activities. Client Advisers, and their teams, are responsible for all elements of client relationships and also new business.
The UK business has enjoyed considerable growth and success in recent years. We have ambitious plans to serve more clients and expand the business over the coming years, whilst maintaining an atypically collaborative and collegiate culture.
