Debt advisory is particularly active in EMEA and North America, spanning industries including emerging technologies like sustainable aviation fuel and hydrogen, as well as first-of-a-kind financings.

The focus is on innovative, high-return risk transactions that offer significant insurance capital benefits or act as bridges for major corporate finance events.

  • Risk Solutions Group

    A leader in crafting customized hedging solutions for Nomura’s investment banking clients, particularly within private equity and infrastructure. The team works directly with clients to develop strategies that mitigate the risks of interest rate fluctuations, foreign exchange uncertainties, and inflation – critical for M&A and refinancing transactions.
