Rothschild has been expanding in the US, but I wouldn’t say that they are quite on the same level as Guggenheim yet, nor are they close to Guggenheim’s size and presence either. In the US, Rothschild reminds me a bit of Jefferies circa 2015. They’ve been building out their presence and are in the process of moving upwards, but their deal flow is still primarily MM (with larger deals primarily being cross-border deals they land with their stronger international presence), and I’ve seen them bring some truly dogshit companies to market. On the other hand, Guggenheim has both a stronger MM presence (poached some absolute rainmakers from Blair and RJ) and very strong mid-cap and large-cap dealflow in certain industries (HC, TMT) powered by some legacy rainmakers.

 

Rx, Industrials are top groups with best exits. Consumers also very good. Healthcare, FIG, decent deal flow and growing. Keep in mind this is just from my experience networking there. Overall Roths US has improved significantly over the last few years. Looks like it's on a good track to continue to grow in the upcoming few years. Talent attractiveness wise good comp, good culture, growing deal flow.
