Rothschild Asia - Anyone know anything about them?

Could anyone tell me about Rothschild in Asia? Specifically - Singapore and Hong Kong.
Are they as reputable in Asia as they are in Europe? I understand that they are a boutique investment bank. Frankly, I'm not sure how they stand vs. other Asian boutique IBs.

Thanks in advance :)

 
tomahawk:
they are rather reputable. Have you applied and gone for the interview yet? If i'm not wrong, Rothschild offer 6mths long internship...

Know this guy who did his internship with them for 7 months.

 
blitzball:
did you apply to them and for what position? I applied for a New Analyst position for HK and singapore but don't think they've started reviewing applications yet

I was called for an internship interview, so it should be soon. I guess they do it on a rolling basis? Do you know how big their teams are?

 
Solidarity:
I heard most of their employees are Asian

Lots of Asians in LAZ's Singapore office too. Its their home turf after all.

I guess on their junior levels, they are. A quick check using Linkedin tells me that it seems to be so.

I've dealt with them here in the US and they have generally had an oversize ego. Rothschild it seems has lost its luster and is riding off the glory days. That said I think of them in the same vein as BBH, although not as nice to play with.

That's hilarious the way you put it. But just wondering, are their hiring and firing as cyclical as the other BBs out there? It seems like many of their employees stay on for years, although compensation is not the highest on the street, it's relatively "safer"?

1, LAZ Asia HQ is in HK (where the head of Asia sits), not SG...

  1. Elite boutiques (i.e. Rothschild) in Asia are simply not as good as their US/ European operations. Most of the time, they are even worse than 3rd tier BB (BNP, SoGen), in terms of the dealflow.

If you don't agree, I will tell you that in Asia banks without balance sheet financing capibility are sh!t because M&A markets are not that active and developed than the US/ Eurpe.

  1. That been said, Rothschild is still a respectable name in Asia. In the current turbulent markets if you cannot get other decent offers, take the one from Rothschild.

Do a quick Linkedin search. You will find the exit opp for Rothschild (Asia) won't be that good, but I believe you will land BB IBD interviews during good times (if IBD is something you would like to do).

I know this is out of topic from the original discussion, but what do you mean specifically when you say "M&A markets are not that active and developed than the US/ Eurpe"?

Shouldn't M&A activities be quite high since this is a growth region?

 

there are a lot equity offerings going on but as far as M&A deals...there are some but not much.

One reason is you almost never have any LBO deals due to the distaste for leverage in the region. There are some others due to culture and other things as well
