Investing Quotes by Jacob Rothschild

Let’s say that we are all very close, but also that we all compete with each other. For example, Chateau Lafite is a competitor of Chateau Mouton, which belongs to another branch of the family.

People always claim that the tax advantage in America is greater, when in fact it isn’t. You get exemption from tax here if you allow public access to your collection, and that’s a big plus. This government has brought in the cultural giving scheme which means you can give a picture during your lifetime to a national museum and get a tax reduction. That makes us pretty competitive with other countries, though France is even better: they have introduced incentives for companies that can pay their tax bills by giving a work of art to the nation. Jacob Rothschild
