Evercore Looks Uniquely Well Positioned to Capitalize on M&A Activity Boom

Evercore has forged a strong reputation during its 30 years of existence. The firm is unique relative to its bulge bracket competitors that regularly accompany it atop the investment banking league table rankings in that it operates as essentially an advisory pure-play, with advisory revenue comprising more than 80% of the firm’s net sales. The remainder is chopped up between additional business lines in underwriting, trading, and wealth management.
