Evercore Taps Goldman, Morgan Stanley Bankers for FIG Dealmaking.

Evercore Inc. is expanding its financial institutions advisory practice by hiring two senior bankers from Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. Eric Neveux, who was a partner at Goldman Sachs, will join Evercore as a senior managing director. Graham Nix will also join as a senior managing director from Morgan Stanley. These hires reflect Evercore's focus on financial institutions investment banking as a growing area, particularly in the wake of increased deal activity among asset managers, banks, specialty lenders, and insurers. Evercore has recently worked on significant financial services deals, including Truist Financial Corp.'s sale of its insurance brokerage arm and BlackRock Inc.'s purchase of Global Infrastructure Partners.
