EVR vs IVZ 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.

Invesco provides investment-management services to retail (70% of managed assets) and institutional (30%) clients. At the end of November 2025, the firm had $2.154 trillion in assets under management spread among its equity (62% of AUM), balanced (3%), fixed-income (20%), alternative investment (6%), and money market (9%) operations. Passive products account for close to half of Invesco's total AUM. Invesco's US retail business is one of the 10 largest nonproprietary fund complexes in the country. The firm also has a meaningful presence outside of North America, with 31% of its AUM sourced from Europe, Africa, and the Middle East (16%) and Asia (15%).
