Lord Rothschild takes £130m bet against the euro

[FarCenter]

The member of the banking dynasty has taken the position through RIT Capital Partners, the £1.9bn investment trust of which he is executive chairman.

The fact that the former investment banker, a senior member of the Rothschild family, has taken such a view will be seen as a further negative for the currency.

The latest omen follows news in The Daily Telegraph late last week that the government of Finland is already preparing for the euro’s break-up.

RIT, which Lord Rothschild has led since 1988, had a -7pc net short position in terms of principal currency exposures on the euro at the end of July, up from -3pc at the end of January. Given a net asset value of £1.836bn at the end of July, the position is worth £128m.

No doubt small compared with George Soros' position.

7. The Rothschilds are just one super-rich family out of hundreds.

Singling the most well know Jewish family in the Super-Rich Club is usually a prelude to the anti-Semitic BS the "End The Fed" Libertarian assholes spew.
