Candidates interviewing for investment-banking roles should understand Rothschild & Co’s distinctive platform. Its Global Advisory business provides M&A and strategic advisory as well as financing advisory, including debt advisory and restructuring. Unlike a universal bank, the firm is not primarily pitching a large corporate lending balance sheet, so candidates should be ready to discuss the appeal of advice centered on client objectives.
Rothschild & Co also operates Wealth and Asset Management and Five Arrows, its alternative-assets business. For an investment-banking interview, however, your motivation should focus on the relevant Global Advisory team rather than reciting every division.
