Nomura Reorganizes China Operations
Tokyo, March 28, 2008—Nomura Holdings, Inc. today announced that it has established Nomura Corporate Advisory (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary based in Shanghai, China, to advise Japanese firms already operating in China or considering entering the Chinese market. In addition, Nomura Corporate Advisory (China) Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary established in Beijing in 1993, will be dissolved.
The reorganization is in response to growing demand in Shanghai from Japanese companies seeking business consulting services and will allow Nomura to concentrate its management resources in Shanghai to provide its clients with a higher level of service.
In addition, the China-related M&A activities carried out by Nomura Corporate Advisory (China) will be taken over by the investment banking division of Nomura Holdings’ local subsidiary in Hong Kong.
As the first foreign investment bank to enter the Chinese Mainland back in 1982, Nomura has a long-standing commitment to business in China and has undertaken a wide range of operations including securities-related businesses and commercial real-estate projects in Beijing and Shanghai.
