Mizuho is expanding its equities business abroad after recruiting dozens of analysts, salesmen and traders to handle mainly Japanese stocks. It formed a tie-up with U.K. Firm Redburn Europe Ltd. earlier this year to offer equity services to Japanese institutional investors that are seeking higher returns as negative interest rates curtail opportunities at home.
Hiroki Saigusa, a Tokyo-based spokesman at Mizuho Securities, declined to comment. Maybank Kim Eng will make an announcement on the matter soon, a spokeswoman said, without giving details. - Bloomberg
