Nomura Corporate Research and Asset Management Inc

Nomura Corporate Research and Asset Management Inc is a subsidiary of Nomura Holdings, a global financial services group headquartered in Tokyo. The firm was established to extend Nomura's corporate research capabilities and asset management services to North American institutional investors. Its founding aligns with Nomura's broader expansion into international markets, though the exact year of the entity's formation is not publicly specified. Strategy & deployment centers on fundamental research-driven investing across public equities, fixed income, and alternative asset classes. The firm conducts in-depth corporate analysis to inform both discretionary and systematic investment processes. It serves institutional clients including pension funds, endowments, and sovereign wealth funds. Portfolio construction typically emphasizes long-only equities, credit instruments, and multi-asset solutions. Scale and team size are not disclosed publicly. The firm operates primarily from its New York office, with potential connectivity to Nomura's global network including Tokyo, London, and Hong Kong. As a subsidiary, it aligns with Nomura's broader asset management division, which reported approximately $500 billion in assets under management globally as of recent public filings (per Nomura Holdings, fiscal year 2024). No philanthropic vehicles or operating companies have been specifically attributed to this entity. Structural differentiator lies in its integration within a large, diversified financial institution. Unlike independent asset managers, Nomura Corporate Research benefits from the global research platform, balance sheet, and distribution network of Nomura Holdings. This structure allows it to offer clients cross-border insights and capital markets access typical of a bulge-bracket bank's asset management arm, distinguishing it from boutique or independent research firms.
