Five Arrows is the alternative assets arm of Rothschild & Co, deploying firm and third-party capital across private equity and private credit strategies.

Five Arrows is the alternative assets division of the multinational financial services group Rothschild & Co. Headquartered in Paris and London, the firm operates as the flagship of the Rothschild banking group, leveraging the family's centuries-long history in global finance to manage capital for private and institutional investors. The division represents one of the three primary pillars of Rothschild & Co's operations.

The firm focuses on mid-market investments and specialized alternative strategies, including corporate private equity and private credit. It has expanded its reach through significant joint ventures, such as the Jardine Rothschild Asia Capital partnership formed in 2007 to pursue growth capital investments in Asia. As of late 2024, the division manages substantial assets across its diversified investment platforms.

Five Arrows is known for its sector-focused approach and its ability to deploy the firm's balance sheet capital alongside limited partners. Its investment activities are deeply integrated with the broader Rothschild & Co network, which provides a global platform for sourcing deals and providing strategic advisory services. Throughout its history, it has maintained a reputation for wealth preservation and disciplined capital deployment.
