Evercore Awarded Best M&A Adviser in Singapore at The Asset's Triple A Country Awards 2017 for a Third Consecutive Year

SINGAPORE, Jan. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --  Evercore (NYSE: EVR), a leading global independent investment banking advisory firm, was once again recognised as the Best M&A Adviser in Singapore by The Asset magazine at its 2017 Triple A Country Awards ceremony held in Hong Kong on 17 January 2018. 

Held annually and now in its 19^th year, the Triple A awards are Asia's preeminent recognition for best-in-class institutions operating within the region. This marks the third consecutive year that Evercore has been awarded this prestigious title of "Best M&A Adviser" in Singapore, which no other investment bank has ever accomplished three years in a row.

Over the past three years, Evercore has advised on some of the largest, most complex and transformational transactions in Singapore, the world's third largest financial centre. In 2017, Evercore was the most active firm advising Singapore-based corporates, based on both the number of deals advised on as well as advised deal value[1]. Amongst the landmark transactions that Evercore in Singapore has advised on in 2017, a number have won a series of deal awards from leading industry publications.

Keith Magnus, Co-Chairman of Evercore's business in Asia, commented, "We are deeply humbled to be recognised as the best advisory firm for M&A in Singapore for the third year running. This is an endorsement of the quality of our advice which is valued by our clients and marks yet another major milestone for Evercore Singapore. Our third consecutive award in Singapore underscores the great strides we have made in being the adviser of choice to corporates and billionaires in the region."

"It goes without saying that we would not have been able to achieve these awards without the faith that our clients place in us to deliver world class advice on their most important strategic initiatives. We dedicate this award to all our clients and look forward to the continued partnership with them in the years to come," Mr. Magnus said.

Ralph Schlosstein, President and Chief Executive Officer of Evercore, said, "Being recognised as the 'Best M&A Adviser' for the third year running is a strong testament to Evercore's strength globally, Keith Magnus' standing as a world-class trusted adviser and the strength of the team he has built. Over the last year, we have advised on some of the largest and most high profile transactions in the region, many of which were repeat mandates. As Singapore continues to be a key strategic hub for Evercore to service our Asian clients and global clients with ambitions to expand in Asia, we remain highly committed to extend our lead in the region by attracting top talent to boost our capabilities in providing elite independent advice to our clients."

Evercore provides conflict-free, expert advice to clients regarding the execution of key strategic plans including cross-border transactions and the deployment of strategic capital. The Firm's Singapore office was established in late 2013 with the appointment of Mr. Keith Magnus as Chief Executive Officer of Evercore's Singapore office covering the region and Senior Managing Director of Evercore. Evercore obtained its Capital Markets Services license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore in mid-2014 and the office was officially launched in March 2015.
