I was a SA at Rothschild this past summer and am going back for FT. Whenever a question about Rothschild comes up on WSO people are always quick to bucket it as an MM. And while I'm aware of and concede that exits aren't as good as the more traditional/established EBs it seems that deals are very similar. Below is a screenshot from Rothschild's 2019 investor presentation about their NA growth strategy which shows their NA deal distribution in 2018 as well as Moelis's most recent investor presentation that shows the deal distribution of the more typical EBs from 2017-2019. As you can see, they are very similar. So I think that the general perception of Rothschild is perhaps outdated and governed by inertia as they have grown significantly in NA recently. But if there's something I'm missing re: my comparison to EBs someone correct me. 

 

Has anyone around here recently gone up against Rothschild for a mandate and lost?
