Rothschild Wealth Partners

What Rothschild Wealth Partners does

Rothschild Wealth Partners is an independent, privately held registered investment advisor (RIA) operating under a hybrid RIA/broker-dealer model, founded in 1908 and headquartered in Chicago. The firm manages over $7B in combined AUA across advisory, brokerage, and 401(k) plans, and serves high-net-worth individuals, multi-generational families, business owners, affluent retirees, and Chicagoland businesses through seven offices spanning Illinois (Chicago Loop, Oak Brook, Northbrook, Deer Park, Deerfield), Denver, and Nashville.

Its core offering is a comprehensive wealth management platform spanning financial planning, investment analysis and portfolio management, estate and philanthropic planning, trustee services, customized insurance solutions, and multi-family-office services for UHNW families. On the workplace side, it provides business succession planning, transition and exit planning, and corporate retirement plan consulting covering defined benefit, defined contribution, and nonqualified plans. Investment modules include direct indexing, structured notes, and alternative investments accessed via the CAIS platform.

The business model is fee-based and recurring: advisory fees on managed assets, brokerage commissions, and professional services fees for retirement plan consulting. The firm is custodian-agnostic, integrating with Schwab, Fidelity/NFS, and Pershing for custody and clearing, and layers on third-party planning and portfolio tools (eMoney, Black Diamond, Orion, AdvisorOp). Growth has been driven by a roll-up strategy — the 2023 merger of Rothschild Investment and Sentinus, followed by acquisitions of Siligmueller & Norvid Wealth Advisors ($300M AUM, October 2025) and Windgate Wealth Management ($200M+, January 2026), plus a partnership with Bussenger Financial Group ($170M+, April 2026) — overseen by newly hired Chief Growth Officer Mac O'Brien and supported by an equity-partnership recruiting channel targeting breakaway advisors.
