EVR vs FRT Comparison

Evercore is a leading independent investment banking advisory firm that generates most of its revenue through merger and acquisition and restructuring advisory services, with much smaller capital raising, equities trading, and investment management businesses. Founded in 1995, it has built a reputation for advising on some of the world's largest and most complex transactions. The firm operates globally with a strong presence in the US and Europe, serving corporations, financial sponsors, and government clients. Its business model emphasizes high-touch, conflict-free advice rather than balance sheet lending, allowing it to compete with larger bulge-bracket banks.

Federal Realty Investment Trust is a shopping center-focused retail real estate investment trust that owns high-quality properties in eight of the largest metropolitan markets. Its portfolio includes an interest in 102 properties, which includes 27.4 million square feet of retail space and 3,000 multifamily units. Federal's retail portfolio includes grocery-anchored centers, superregional centers, power centers, and mixed-use urban centers. Federal Realty has focused on owning assets in highly desirable areas with significant growth, and as a result, the average population density and average median household income are higher for its portfolio than for any other retail REIT.
