Any comments on Rothschild in 2020 for NY or North America overall? Saw another thread for 2020 that didn't gain much traction. Wondering about strength of various groups and exit ops in particular or how it compares to other banks.

Don’t know about specific groups, but the people I know there have pretty decent hours (for banking standards, of course) and they seem to place well in MM PE and Corp dev shops. Definitely one of the top MMs out there.
is this also true for non-nyc offices?
How does it compare to the top MMs in the US? I think when most people refer to top MMs they refer to William Blair, Baird, HW. Would those be considered equivalent firms?
Don't know specifics but it was ranked 9th ytd according to the FactSet League Table (last updated in July 2020). approx. 35bil across 34 total transactions.
Here's a podcast I just listened to about someone who interned there and is returning full time. I've heard good things and have three friends there currently who are just starting full-time. Very prestigious is Europe and gaining market share in the US from what I've heard.
Pretty cool interview. I know the reputation is considered better and there's more discussion about the firm in the context of Europe, but it doesn't seem talked about as much for NY at least.
Isn't it considered a very good boutique rather than a top MM?
Outside of RX, they focus on mm deals. Similar to HL, maybe working on a bit larger mandates but still mm.
Reposting this from another thread:
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 So I think that the general perception of Rothschild is perhaps outdated and governed by inertia as they have grown significantly in NA recently.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.
That's interesting.. if you look at the 2019 M&A league tables from Bloomberg for the US, they are not in the top 20 advisors and #17 globally, mostly given the European shop.. however seems like in 2020 they have gained market share in US..
It's because a very small proportion of this forum are posters with actual legitimate industry insight. You should realize this website is simply an echo chamber where uninformed students just regurgitate stale and/or inaccurate information
I agree with your post and actual data is refreshing to see on this website. It also shows that a very large % of EB deal flow is sub $1bn transactions...it's not like every firm focuses exclusively on $10bn+ mergers
How does total deal flow compare to other EBs? What about controlling for # of MD's? Sorry, I don't know where I would get this information myself
