Not for the first time, the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers are to team up, with investment trust RIT Capital Partners, chaired by Lord Rothschild, taking a major stake in Rockefeller Financial Services.
RIT is to acquire the 37% stake in Rockefeller previously held by Socit Gnrale Private Banking, opening the way for the two firms to collaborate on investment solutions and other areas of shared expertise.
"Lord Rothschild and I have known each other for five decades. The connection between our two families remains very strong," said David Rockefeller, Honorary Director and retired Chairman of Rockefeller & Co, a subsidiary of Rockefeller Financial Services.
