Good evening,

After 17 years and deals like Zimmermann’s $1.7 billion sale to Advent International, Rothschild & Co managing director Marc Rubinstein is ready for the next adventure.

Street Talk can reveal Rubinstein has lobbed his resignation and is due to pop up at Luminis Partners, a boutique corporate adviser currently tending to ASX-listed large caps like Perpetual and Endeavour Group.

Sydney-based Rubinstein has carved a niche for himself in healthcare, education and retail across public as well as private deals. Recent roles include advising core-plus investor Intermediate Capital Group on its $600 million odd acquisition ofCura Day Hospitals and Anchorage Capital Partners on its acquisition of David Jones.

Long-time clients include Crescent Capital Partners, Allegro Funds, Anchorage Capital Partners and QIC. His deal list stretches across Crescent’s sale of Myhealth and 24-7 Healthcare; Allegro’s work at PRC Radiology and Camp Australia; and core-plus assets like Anchorage’s exit at Rail First Asset Management and QIC’s Evolution Healthcare.

At Luminis, he would work alongside managing directors and seasoned dealmakers Jamie Garis, Richard Marques, and Simon McConnell. Simon Mordant and Ron Malek are the executive co-chairmen.

Mordant and Malek founded Caliburn in 1990, before selling it to New York-headquartered Greenhill in 2010. They started Luminis in 2015 with Garis, and soon attracted US investment bank Evercore as a strategic partner and minority shareholder.

Live mandates include Navis Capital Partners′ mooted sale of Mainland Poultry. And of course, helping Perpetual’s under-pressure board navigate a strategic review.
