Our Asset Management business consists of development and management of investment trusts that are distributed by Nomura Securities, other brokers, banks, Japan Post Bank and Japan Post Network. We also provide investment advisory services for pension funds and other institutional clients.
In the investment trust business, we take a multiproduct, multichannel approach to offer products and services tailored to our clients requirements. We have an extensive product offering and continue to innovate to meet the changing needs of our clients. We offer wide support to our distribution channels, and to improve our products and services we are creating more opportunities for direct client contact through seminars and informative sessions.
In the investment advisory business, institutional investors are reviewing their portfolio allocations after the recent financial turmoil and reconsidering their choices of asset managers. We are capitalizing on this trend to increase our investment advisory assets by leveraging our expertise in Japanese and Asian equities as well as Japanese and foreign bonds. We are also developing new products, such as equity funds that are based on the RAFI(R) (Research Affiliates Fundamentals Index) strategy and sharia-compliant equities and bonds in the Islamic finance space. These developments represent our constant commitment to pursue new fields and new methodologies to deliver the latest products to our clients. |
