The other partners split a still-hefty £30m pay pot. </p><p>But its tight management structure – three of the five partners were among the original co-founders – meant that a future beyond the original Simons looked murky. </p><p>George Osborne has made a substantial chunk of money from his involvement in the company, but maintains a high public profile as a commentator and hosts multiple podcasts a week with his former Labour opposite number Ed Balls. </p><h2 id="h-what-s-in-it-for-evercore-nbsp">What’s in it for Evercore? </h2><p>Through this deal, Evercore gets access to key relationships and contacts in a booming time for M&amp;A volumes in the UK. </p><p>Earlier in July, <em>City AM</em> reported that UK equities are considered “cheap and undervalued”, with public M&amp;A activity almost tripling in the first half of 2024. </p><p>June 2024 alone saw 12 deals – with three in one 24 hour period, including major UK names Alphawave and Oxford Ionics.</p><p>No word yet on whether the firm is planning to launch a podcast.</p> </div>
