Rothschild to invest in Rockefeller, say reports
The Rothschild banking dynasty has agreed to invest in the Rockefeller group’s wealth advisory and asset management business to form a strategic partnership, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday.
Rothschild’s RIT Capital Partners will purchase a 37 percent stake in the Rockefeller business for an undisclosed sum, the newspaper said in an unsourced report.
The partnership will focus on setting up investment funds, eyeing joint acquisitions of wealth and asset managers and granting each other non-executive directorships, it said.
