We also offer custody services for foreign investment trusts.

In the investment trust field, we offer individual customers a diverse lineup of products, including money market funds and equity investment trusts. In recent years, customers have shown a preference for new types of products, including funds offering frequent distributions. In response to this trend, we have expanded our product range. Moreover, in the investment advisory field we provide various asset management services to domestic and overseas pension plans and institutional investors, including management of alternative investments(*1) as well as conventional management services to meet the needs of our customers.

In the defined contribution pension plan business, we now offer a broad range of integrated services, principally through Nomura Pension Support & Service.
