Nomura achieves record results in Institutional Investor analyst rankings
London, 2 February 2010 – Nomura, the global investment bank, today announced that it ranked joint second overall in Institutional Investor's annual All-Europe Research Team rankings, up from eighth position in the 2009 awards and unranked in 2008. This ranking is a testament to the focus and drive of Nomura's European equities and research specialists.
Paul Norris, Head of Equity Research for Europe, the Middle East and Africa said: "Nomura's bold move up the chart signifies our determination to offer clients the very best content and equity sales distribution. We have made a step change, taking advantage of the dislocation in the market. Nomura is traditionally ranked first for its Japan research and we are determined to reach a similar position in Europe."
Nomura achieved 16 top-three rankings in this year's survey, comprising:
- Six #1 ranked research teams: Beverages, Convertibles, Equity Strategy / Developed Markets, Oil & Gas, Quantitative Research and Telecommunications Services
- Five #2 ranked teams: Economics, Pharmaceuticals, Retail / General, Telecommunications Equipment, Tobacco
- Five #3 ranked teams: Banks, Food Producers, Media, Property, Transport
There were also seven runner-up ranked teams: A&D (4th), Chemicals (4th), Insurance (4th), Technology/Semiconductors (4th), Utilities (4th), Metals & Mining (5th), HPC (6th).
Nomura has a strong research heritage in Japan and the firm's enhanced global research product was launched on 27 October 2008, incorporating full coverage of all major industry sectors in EMEA.
Nomura is consistently placed in the top ranks for Japanese equity research and is committed to reaching a similar position in Europe and the Asia region outside of Japan. Research will be launched in the US in mid-2010.
