    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • The programme consisted of presentations from various divisions within the bank, including Equity Capital Markets, Debt Capital Markets, Global Advisory, Wealth Management and a case study from the Healthcare sector team. Throughout the four days we had plenty of opportunities to speak to bankers across the firm and gain a deeper understanding of the work Rothschild does as well as their rich family history. We also worked on a group project during the programme, which involved evaluating a potential merger/acquisition of two companies, and presenting this on the final day.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Having a buddy throughout the programme also helped gain a deeper understanding of the analyst experience at Rothschild and the culture at the firm.
