Global Markets Fixed Income

Fixed income strength

We invested heavily in our fixed income business in 2008/09 — when most firms were scaling back their franchises we saw an opportunity to build ours. The fixed income business is now a major success story for Nomura and an extraordinary achievement given the financial climate during 2008 and 2009.

The contributing factors towards this performance have been our ability to:

• operate as a next generation investment bank — a franchise designed for the new market environment
• attract top talent across all businesses — this includes award-winning teams in ABS research and E-trading
• create innovative and transparent products that deliver real value to clients
• deliver an unrivalled Asian perspective
• execute with precision high profile, complex trades
• produce outstanding research at the macro and product level
• develop an FX e-trading platform that returns impressive results for clients.

We have an highly dedicated and motivated team, offering a full fixed income service across flow and structured businesses including interest rates, foreign exchange, credit products, cross asset solutions and commodities.

We put clients at the heart of our business. This commitment is central to the design of our global product offering, our focus on risk management and our drive for excellence in all aspects of client service.
