Group Structure | Global Markets

The strong customer base and financial product origination capabilities based on sophisticated financial technology that we have developed with a diverse range of clients allow us to precisely anticipate client needs and deliver unique products.

Global Markets is committed to building on this heritage of trust by offering clients optimum solutions through flexible and creative product origination.

Outline

Global Markets consists of three businesses: Global Fixed Income(*1), Global Equity(*2), and Asset Finance(*3). We have a proven track record of sales and trading bonds, stocks, and foreign exchange, as well as derivatives based on these financial instruments, mainly to institutional investors. In response to the increasingly diverse and complex needs of our clients, we are building up our trading and product origination capabilities to offer superior products not only to institutional investors but also to our Domestic Retail and Asset Management divisions. This cross-divisional approach also extends to Global Investment Banking, where close collaboration leads to high-value-added solutions for our clients.

In Asset Finance, we use our broad client base to maximum advantage and offer sophisticated financial solutions for raising capital through real estate and other asset securitization schemes.

Our greatest strength is in the extensive ties we have forged with institutional investors in Japan and international markets; wealthy and affluent investors, public-sector agencies, and regional financial institutions in Japan; and government agencies, financial institutions, and corporations around the world. These ties enable us to pinpoint what types of products investors are currently looking for and then develop and deliver a line of products that meet their needs. This edge sets Nomura apart from other companies in todays highly competitive environment.
