practices to enhance the various services we can provide.

Investment Banking
Corporate Finance was The Rose Partnership's founding practice. With a track record dating back over 30 years, we represent one of the oldest corporate finance practices in Europe.
We have been instrumental in some of the most high profile hires in the UK and continental Europe, delivering results to top tier clients ranging from global bulge-bracket firms to independent boutiques.
Covering all aspects of Corporate Finance, Equity Capital Markets and Financing, we have the largest dedicated team in the market. To reflect our clients, consultants specialise by geography, sector and product, providing formidable expertise and market penetration.

Private Equity
The Rose Partnership has worked in Private Equity since 1990. Recognised as a market leader, we have played an instrumental role in building some of Europe's leading buyout teams. Clients include major participants in the European private equity market, involved in both large buy-outs and the middle market. Our focus is on senior and mid-level hires, typically with multiple placements for each client over a number of years.
The Private Equity team also works closely with our Asset Management and Investment Banking specialists, benefitting from the cooperation between the practices.

Retail Financial Services
The Retail Financial Services team brings a wealth of experience across banking, building societies, insurance, consumer finance and the regulatory environment. The practice covers business leadership appointments such as CEO, CFO and COO as well as functional roles in distribution and customer service.
In this diverse area, we have rapidly developed a reputation for successfully completing some of the most complex and demanding assignments for our clients. Our thoughtful approach, twinned with our ability to source lateral candidate ideas, means clients have often turned to us when other search firms have failed to deliver.

Asia-Pacific
In 2010, The Rose Partnership opened its first international office in Hong Kong. Previously we had successfully covered a broad range of geographies (including the emerging markets) from our London base. However, the dynamics of the Asia-Pacific region and the gap in the market for a sophisticated, research and advice-driven search firm within Investment Banking, led us to commit to building a local presence.
Jo Mills, one of our most experienced consultants and Co-Head of our Investment Banking practice, relocated to Hong Kong to spearhead the effort, hiring local nationals to build out the team. The office focuses on senior level hires in Investment Banking and Wealth Management, across the Asia-Pacific region (excluding Japan). The Rose Partnership, and Jo specifically, has an extensive track record of quickly assessing and adapting to the nuances of new markets, whilst retaining our commitment to the quality of research and advice. Whilst Asia is a very different market to EMEA we have found a real appetite and respect for our approach. Clients have highlighted our skills in sourcing and assessing candidates, providing unusually detailed market checks early on. They have also applauded our ability to use the tactics needed to influence and manage the very best talent through to closure, often in a highly competitive process.

Finance
Focus and determination are two of the qualities that we bring to bear when searching for exceptional CFOs - the ones who will create significant and lasting performance improvements for our clients. The Finance practice offers over 30 accumulated years’ experience of hiring into blue chip corporates, private equity portfolio companies and private businesses across a range of sectors, both commercial and financial. We understand, and have powerful networks within, these markets. However, we also listen carefully to ensure that we add value in everything we deliver. Implementation is everything.
Our clients mandate us for divisional and main Board appointments including CFO, FD, Treasurer, Group Controller, Strategy Director and FP&A Director.

Risk
Our international knowledge of risk capability across banking and insurance, validated by business and peer group references, enables robust benchmarking of this dynamic community. Industry wide changes in risk appetite and regulation, evolving operating models and policy, together with the presence of Risk at the Board table is driving demand and defining the shape of new era risk professionals. In fact, the disconnect between supply and demand in this tight-knit community requires rigour, speed and a skilfully positioned proposition.

Middle East & Africa
In 2007, The Rose Partnership formed a strategic alliance with Mikael Zoghbi Associates, a consultancy focused on executive search, covering a wide range of industries including financial services. The company represents over 30 years' experience in the region. This is the first time we have treated a geography in this way, but given the unique challenges of the Middle East, we’ve found it to be highly successful.

Wealth Management
The Rose Partnership has had a Fund Management practice since 1992 and a Wealth Management division since 2003. In 2011 we established a Wealth capability in Hong Kong which, amongst other things, is actively involved in helping our clients expand into China. The majority of our business has been in recruiting individuals for strategic roles including Chief Investment Officers, Heads of Family Office, and asset allocation/multi asset professionals. This is a fast growing area of business for us as we continue to successfully meet the demands of our clients, appreciating as we do the gradual convergence between the Institutional and Wealth offering, and sourcing seamlessly from both talent pools.
