Our philosophy

The spirit of the Group

All career paths within the Bank respect its values of creativity, discretion and rigour:

Commitment and enterprise

This core of shared values fosters a spirit of enterprise and commitment among our employees, who help drive the Bank through a continuous process of transformation. Work is structured around small specialist teams, each enjoying a large measure of independence, and this encourages individual responsibility and innovative solutions.

Sense of service and pursuit of excellence

The Rothschild name, which has been synonymous with finance for more than 250 years, represents a guarantee of stability and long-term vision for employees and customers alike. It is also an ongoing challenge for our teams, who strive to perpetuate and renew the reputation for excellence associated with the Rothschild name and live up to the high expectations of Rothschild customers.

The family’s historic motto embodied in the Bank

The three principles of the Rothschild house motto, “Unity, integrity, industry” are at the heart of the Bank’s culture and relationships with our customers:

• Unity evokes peace, harmony and the resolution of conflicts,
• Integrity reflects a commitment to ethics and transparency,
• Industry expresses the passion we bring to the business.

Talent at the heart of our development model

In a world of customised services offering high value-added, the talent of our teams is the Group’s driving force. The expertise required in all areas of our business means that we mostly recruit experienced professionals with proven skills in their field, and, more occasionally, junior staff.
