Philosophy
One of the key strategies to realize our vision is to expand our business from public into private markets. It is important to note that at Nomura the word ‘private’ has several meanings. First, there are ‘private’ financial products such as private equity for the shares of unlisted companies. Then there is also ‘private’ in the sense of personal or just for you, such as a private jet or a private beach. We aim to provide each client with bespoke services and solutions made just for them.
