Nomura Securities

Nomura Securities International has its eye on fixed income, and we're not talking Social Security. The US-based division of Nomura Holdings, a top Japanese brokerage, provides securities research and trading, asset management, and capital markets services to individual, institutional, corporate, and government clients. It is a leading seller of Japanese equities in the US. The company's fixed income division underwrites and trades government bonds and derivatives. It ceased trading mortgage-related securities in 2007. Nomura Securities International opened its first US office in New York in 1927, and has expanded its reach to entail all of North and South America.
