TOKYO: Under pressure in Japan from Wall Street rivals and anticipating more deals in the United States or by American companies overseas, Nomura Holdings is boosting its US investment banking business, including some senior hires in the technology and finance sectors.
Two sources familiar with the matter said Nomura plans to add a dozen senior and mid-level investment bankers over the next 12 to 18 months in the United States, covering mergers and acquisitions, equity capital markets and leveraged financing – building out a team of around 200 there.
