Corporate Shareholder Advisory at Rothschild - What department is this and what are the exit opps?
Hi all - does anyone have any insight into what does Corporate Shareholder Advisory or Global Advisory within Rothschild does?
Is this ECM role? Can I move around the bank after a year (went to top target uni) or so? What are the exit opps?
Thanks
Global Advisory is the division that does M&A, Equity Advisory and Debt Advisory. Corporate shareholder advisory is where you advise on matters such as takeover defence. Rothschild doesn't have an ECM role, but the equity advisory team advises on IPOs, follow-ons etc.
If you apply to global advisory, you don't get to choose which sub-division you are in until a few months before you start, where there will be a networking event matching new analysts with team members.
As per exit opps, that varies per team and location. If you are in London, Rothschild are considered Tier 1, along with top BBs and EBs (Laz, Evr), and that translates into exit ops to MFs. In the US, the restructuring team produces top exits every year (TPG, Oaktree) and the M&A team is still quite new but growing rapidly, exits in the past have been upper MMs.
Hi Jstathan123 - thanks for the detailed response. I really appreciate it.
I was poached for this position and if i were to get the role... I will start as an Analyst (not grad role) with the CSA team. Since I have 1.5 years of working in Luxury company (strat finance) + CFA Lvl I + finishing Masters in 1 week time, I want to laterally move to consumer team or their corporate finance team within due course.
Based on this brief background - how possible is it for me to make the abovementioned career move down the line?
Alternatively, can I pm you regarding this matter? You seem very knowledge in this area and I would be very grateful to get some more insight!
Thanks in advance!!!
Sure, feel free to PM me.
The consumer team and the corporate finance team (I assume you mean M&A) is one of the best teams in Europe, so breaking in both within and outside the bank will be difficult. However, turnover is high due to people leaving for PE, HF or other opportunities. I advise you to network a few months into the job (not straight away as that will leave a bad impression) and make your intentions known.
Which office will you be joining?
