Concentration of Managerial Resources to Improve
Clients’ Investment Performance

Our history goes back to 1996 when a small trial team for fund analysis and evaluation was created within Nomura Securities. Since then, we have paid every effort to contribute to clients’ investment management and to improve their performance. Our passion for client value creation remains intact and we keep our managerial resources concentrated only for the benefit of our clients.

Aspire to further coordinated enhancement by research
and investment professionals

We are the pioneers of fund evaluation in Japan and has a team of the most experienced fund analysts and fund-of-funds portfolio managers, while many of them have been actively involved in investment money management in their previous careers. It is our belief that real experiences in equity and/or fixed-income portfolio management and investment decision-makings should benefit their judgment in fund evaluations as well as investment advisory. Such our belief is presented in the profile of our experienced professionals and uniquely featured in qualities in our services.

We continue to enhance our core skills, such as fund evaluation and portfolio construction, through collective efforts by all the professionals. The entire process based on the same methodology in fund evaluation and portfolio construction is taken place in a systematic and documented manner and is followed by al the fund analysts as well as portfolio managers. Such team approach eliminates dependency on individual skills and knowledge , so that not only our process will not be affected by change in our personnel, but also all the improvements in our fund evaluation and portfolio construction can be pursed as a team effort.
