Nomura to Enhance Client Solutions through New Business
Tokyo, November 29, 2017—Nomura Holdings, Inc. today announced that its Executive Management Board resolved to establish a new business to extend the range of services the company offers to its clients.
Under the new business, Nomura will primarily provide equity to clients as a solution for business reorganizations and revitalizations, business succession as well as management buyouts.
Nomura’s Retail business is currently making efforts to bolster its consulting services, while the firm’s Wholesale business offers creative solutions leveraging its strengths in Investment Banking and Global Markets. The new business will respond to clients’ growing need for a wider range of solutions.
Effective December 1, 2017, Nomura will establish the Merchant Banking Preparation Office, which will be responsible for sourcing deals and working out the details of the new business.
Equity and other investments will be provided through a fund. In addition to the cost to set up the fund, Nomura plans to make an initial investment of approximately 100 billion yen in the new business. The firm has not yet identified any specific investment targets.
The impact of this business on Nomura’s consolidated results for the fiscal year ending March 2018 is expected to be minimal. If the possibility of a material impact arises in the future, the firm will immediately issue an announcement to that effect.
