Research
Tokushichi Nomura, the founder of Nomura Group, was fully aware of the limitations of securities trading based on instinct and experience alone. He was the first to set up a research department in Japan's securi ties industry and consistently emphasized the importance of scientific investment decisions. Our founder's emphasis on research is still a strong guiding principle within today's Nomura Group.
