What Evercore does

Independent investment bank providing M&A and restructuring advisory, with a smaller wealth-management arm.

Fees are mostly paid when deals close, with some retainers, so revenue is lumpy and follows deal completions. Restructuring advisory brings work when markets are weak, which partly offsets slower deal markets. Founded in 1995 by Roger Altman, it grew by hiring senior bankers and by combining with the research firm ISI in 2014.

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Financial services
  • Independent advisory investment bank
  • M&A/restructuring advisory

What could go right

  • M&A activity recovery
  • Restructuring demand in downturns

What could go wrong

  • Deal-flow dependent, lumpy revenue
  • Competition from bulge-bracket and boutique banks

Moat: narrow (brand, process know-how). Independent, conflict-free advisory model attracts high-profile mandates that lending-tied banks may not win.
