Equity Research

Nomura became the first bank to create an in-house research department in 1906 and our commitment to high-quality research remains as strong today.

Every aspect of the equities franchise depends on timely insights about market activity at the level of single stocks, sectors and countries or from a macroeconomic perspective.

Our long-term view means that we can give our analysts the freedom and time to carry out in-depth fundamental, quantitative and thematic research and build conviction about their ideas so that their work adds to our clients' understanding of market trends.

This approach to research means we attract analysts with the deepest sector and country knowledge and the broadest market contacts. It also differentiates Nomura from the many banks that still produce "me-too" maintenance research.

Nomura is a leading provider of corporate access for Asian companies seeking access to European and US fund managers. There is now a major push to match that quality of service for European companies targeting investors in Europe, the US and Asia.

Our research team will cover 600 stocks across Europe by March 2010. This includes emerging market analysis of core sectors in Russia, Turkey and Middle East.
