New York, September 29, 2011 – Nomura, the global investment bank, continues to demonstrate its strength in FX following its #1 ranking for Foreign Exchange / Currency research in Institutional Investor's All-America Fixed Income Research survey for 2011.
Jens Nordvig, Head of Fixed Income Research for the Americas and Global Head of G10 FX Strategy, leads the team from New York and drives the expansion of Nomura's Americas Fixed Income research franchise.
