Five Arrows is the alternative assets arm of Rothschild & Co, deploying the firm's capital alongside private and institutional investors.

Five Arrows is the alternative assets division of Rothschild & Co, a multinational private and alternative assets investor headquartered in Paris and London. The firm manages capital across private equity and private credit strategies, deploying both the firm's own capital and that of institutional and private investors. It serves as a key pillar of the Rothschild banking group, alongside its global advisory and wealth management businesses.

Historically, the firm's activities in alternative assets were consolidated under the Rothschild & Co flagship following the 2003 merger of the French and British branches of the Rothschild family. In 2007, the firm expanded its reach by forming the Jardine Rothschild Asia Capital joint venture for growth capital investments. Today, Five Arrows represents a significant portion of the group's operations, focusing on long-term value creation in private markets.
