2. Operating model
As an investment management business operator, it handles (1) investment trust management of public investment trusts (formation and management), (2) ETF / index products, (3) discretionary investment management (pension and institutional-investor discretionary mandate), and (4) investment advisory. It is a fee-based asset-management pillar separated from the securities group’s brokerage / investment banking. Together with Nomura Trust Bank (Nomura Trust Bank) it forms the securities group’s wealth / asset formation stack. In fee competition over low-cost index / ETF products it collides directly with Daiwa Asset Management and other large affiliated players. Supervision is a two-tier structure of the FSA + self-regulatory organizations.
3. Why this page matters
- It carves out the ETF / index / active / institutional mandate management functions that are hard to see when the Nomura group is viewed through brokerage alone.
- It establishes the connection points to the asset-management-nation policy, NISA, the ETF market, and trust-bank custody.
- It provides a comparison starting point against securities-affiliated peers (Daiwa Asset Management / Amova Asset Management (formerly Nikko Asset Management)).
