Main article:Nomura Securities § History

The history of Nomura began on December 25, 1925, whenNomura Securities Co., Ltd.(NSC) was established inOsaka,as a spin-off from Securities Dept. of Osaka Nomura Bank Co., Ltd (the present dayResona Bank). NSC initially focused on thebond market.It was named after its founderTokushichi Nomura II,a wealthy Japanese businessman and investor. He had earlier established Osaka Nomura bank in 1918, based on theMitsui zaibatsumodel with a capital of ¥10 million.Like the majority ofJapaneseconglomerates,orzaibatsu,its origins were inOsaka,but today operates out of Tokyo.

Lehman Brothers acquisition

In October 2008, Nomura acquired most ofLehman Brothers' Asian operations together with its European equities and investment banking units to make one of the world's largest independent investment banks with ¥20,300bn (£138bn) assets under management. In April 2009, the global headquarters for investment banking was moved out of Tokyo to London as part of a strategy to move the company's focus from Japan to global markets, with Josh Tokley appointed Head of UK Investments. Following his subsequent suspension, Tokley was replaced by Michael Coombs.

Nomura paid $225 million for the purchase of Lehman's Asia-Pacific unit.Due to large losses with shares dropping to their lowest level in nearly 37 years, Nomura cut around 5 percent of its staff in Europe (as many as 500 people) in mid-September 2011.

History

Background (before 1925)

Nomura was founded by Tokushichi Nomura, father of Nomura Securities founderTokushichi Nomura IIas amoney changingbusiness.This was just before theMeiji Restoration,the move to setting up a bank was a logical extension and progression of this business as times changed. Changes included the founding of stock exchanges in Tokyo and Osaka as the country became industrialised. Key amongst these changes was the Japanese government's decision to issue foreign currency denominated public bonds to fund theRusso-Japanese war;Nomura employed English speaking staff so that they could take on this international business.

By 1906 Nomura had founded an in-house research department headed up by former Osaka newspaper journalist Kisaku Hashimoto.This was responsible for publishing the Osaka Nomura Business News with trading news, stock analysis and current economic trends. Research combined with a substantial newspaper advertising campaign helped raise the profile of Nomura. By 1917, Nomura had gone public and soon after Osaka Nomura Bank (the present dayResona Bank) was set up, within this business there was a securities section to handle bond sales and underwriting.
