How did Evercore become so successful?

Curious to hear how Evercore is doing so well? What worked for them vs other firms that have tried to compete with the GS/MS of the world?

Just looking at their M&A group, they barely have any weak spot - most teams are probably top 3-4 across the street and they constantly manage to land big ticket deals across all sectors. Interesting to see what would be their next leg of growth.

Good execution / management team and picking the right rainmakers. Clearly EVR now is what old Wall Street firms were like in the past (GS/MS 20-30 years ago, Lehman, etc) less S&T activity. Once you're public, you HAVE to grow so sticking to the "EB" mantra of a couple of hundred bankers with M&A advisory focus only is going to get you killed

 

Fuga deleniti earum veniam. Et quia asperiores minima sapiente est quod dolor.

Et expedita excepturi dolores ratione rerum. Odit odit aut alias a ad. Unde laboriosam adipisci quae. Sint ea fugiat aperiam maiores.
