Rothschild
history from their own mouths
OUR
HISTORY
The
success of the five founding Rothschild brothers lay in their closely
synchronised business.
Having
set up banking operations in Frankfurt, London, Paris, Vienna and
Naples they bound themselves by contract to clear, defined
objectives.
They
also created the fastest and safest courier network in Europe by
which they exchanged market information on a daily basis. It proved
to be a winning formula and soon positioned them as the best informed
and most internationally effective banking group in the world.
Couriers,
pigeon post, the telegraph, the telephone and digital communication:
the Rothschild brothers and their descendants quickly embraced each
new medium of communication to maintain their advantage.
Today,
a global network of unparalleled market and industry knowledge
remains at the core of our business.

OUR
HERITAGE
The
Rothschild family history is intrinsically linked to our heritage as
a firm. Over 200 years, the Rothschild name has become synonymous
with quality and excellence in finance, wine, architecture and
science.
From
modest beginnings, the five sons of Mayer Amschel Rothschild founded
banking houses in Frankfurt, London, Paris, Vienna and Naples. They
achieved renown as the most important - and most successful - bankers
in the world.

Much
of the secrecy and securities act exemptions in the world are
designed to allow the Rothschild’s to keep a low profile, but the
City of London 2011 Bond Market Report gives us a clue of just how
extremely wealth they must be as the worlds premier primary bond
