Nomura's global research offers investors a powerful combination of rigorous analysis and unique insights. With key research hubs in Tokyo, London, Hong Kong, and New York, we currently have a total of 720 researchers in 15 countries and regions around the world. Our researchers collaborate closely across regions and disciplines to track changes and spot future trends in economics, foreign exchange, equities, fixed income, and quantitative analysis. This extensive network of intellectual capital positions us well to provide our clients with timely, actionable information.
One of the most distinctive features of our research offering is our broad coverage in equity research. We launched coverage in the Americas in October 2010, and we already cover 122 companies in 11 sectors including financial services, media, technology, and retail. In Asia, we commenced coverage of Australian equities in June 2010 and we currently cover 54 Australian companies. As of May 2011, we had expanded global equity research coverage to 1,991 companies across Japan, Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
Growth of Equity Research Coverage
Our research consistently receives high industry recognition. In the 2011 equity research rankings announced by Institutional Investor, we ranked number one in Japan for the second year running, fourth in Asia (on a weighted average basis), second in China (on a weighted average basis), and seventh in Europe.
Our fixed income research is also moving up the industry rankings. We jumped from ninth place in the 2010 FinanceAsia fixed income rankings to fifth place 2011. In Japan, we topped the Nikkei Veritas rankings for bond analysts/economists and Japanese equity analysts. And in foreign exchange research, we ranked number one for Japanese financial institutions by a wide margin in the 2011 foreign exchange business ranking by Euromoney.
Our highly-rated foreign exchange research team issues original reports on the flow of Japanese retail investor funds to emerging markets and resource-rich countries, as well as on foreign exchange margin trading yen flows. These unique insights underpin our reputation among global clients as the place to turn to for yen business. With a worldwide foreign exchange research team of about 30 people, we cover 35 currencies, providing forecasts and strategy ideas and leading the way on delivering yen research to the world and global currency insights to Japan and the rest of Asia.

Another key aspect of our research is insightful thematic reports that address topical issues relevant to the capital markets. An example of this is a report we issued in September 2010 that points out how rapid growth in demand for food in the developed and developing world, coupled with supply constraints and uncertainties, is creating a coming surge in food prices. In a sign of the high recognition of our research, the report was referred to in a speech by Dr. Alan Bollard, Governor of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. |
