Mensagem do CEO do Grupo Apoiando o Futuro do Japão O nosso mercado interno do Japão está à beira de mudanças significativas. Desde que o novo governo chegou ao poder em 2012, vimos sinais iniciais de uma recuperação econômica. Para construir esse impulso, precisamos procurar o que o país exige e como podemos contribuir. Dado que o Japão é o maior país credor do mundo e tem o mundo que mais envelhece o mundo, uma área que requer atenção é a criação de um novo quadro social. Ao mesmo tempo, precisamos revisar a estrutura do nosso sistema financeiro. Para que o Japão cresça de forma sustentável no futuro, os mercados de capitais terão de desempenhar um papel mais proeminente. Na verdade, os japoneses aproximadamente 1.500 trilhões em ativos financeiros pessoais detém a chave para o crescimento futuro do país. Nomura pretende apoiar este crescimento, facilitando o fluxo de fundos em toda a economia. Mercados conectados O amplificador leste da Ásia Ocidental deverá representar metade do PIB mundial até 2050 e, sem dúvida, continuará a ser o motor de crescimento da economia global nos próximos anos. No entanto, para que a região realize todo o seu potencial, os países asiáticos devem financiar os projetos de infraestrutura em larga escala necessários para apoiar o crescimento econômico. O Japão pode desempenhar um papel de liderança aqui, crescendo em conjunto com o resto da Ásia, colocando seus ativos financeiros em toda a região. Com a Ásia como nosso mercado interno, esta é uma área em que a Nomura tem uma vantagem competitiva distinta. À medida que as economias de todo o mundo amadurecem e se tornam cada vez mais globais, as empresas e os investidores no Ocidente vêem o Oriente oportunidades de crescimento. Como a única instituição financeira japonesa com uma rede verdadeiramente global, a Nomura está bem colocada para conectar os mercados no Oriente e no Ocidente ao alavancar nossa franquia para fornecer liquidez nos mercados mundiais de capitais. Ao atender as necessidades de nossa base de clientes globais e expandir nossos negócios, podemos contribuir para o crescimento econômico e o desenvolvimento social. Ao fazê-lo, buscamos conquistar a confiança de nossos clientes e da sociedade enquanto trabalhamos para ser o banco de investimento global da Asias. História de Nomura 215 Diversidade amp.

Charmaine Chong Charmaine Chong - Banca de Investimento, Singapura Graduada em Artes Liberais com foco em Economia, Vassar College, EUA, 2011 Para a maioria dos estudantes de artes liberais, a banca de investimento pode não parecer uma escolha de carreira natural. Eu também estava cético. Embora uma posição de analista ofereça o ambiente de trabalho acelerado com grandes expectativas que eu estava procurando, estava preocupado que meu conhecimento de finanças limitado em comparação com estudantes com um diploma relacionado a negócios me impedisse. No entanto, à medida que atravessava o processo de recrutamento, percebi que os bancos de investimento estão buscando mais do que apenas as respostas certas às questões técnicas, eles também valorizam a diversidade de pensamento e profundidade de comunicação e habilidades interpessoais que os graduados de artes liberais podem trazer para a mesa . Enquanto as primeiras semanas como estagiário ou analista podem ser assustadoras, especialmente para pessoas sem fundo financeiro, a Nomura estruturou um programa de treinamento que acelera a curva de aprendizado. Com um currículo compreensivo e um aconselhamento acolhedor e consistente para apoiar os aprendentes, a única outra necessidade é uma paixão para melhorar e oferecer um trabalho de alta qualidade. Havia duas coisas que eu estava muito apreensiva dentro de alguns dias de ingressar em Nomura: o forte espírito de equipe e a vontade de meus colegas de considerar todas as opiniões e idéias. Mesmo como estagiário, fui integrado imediatamente e considero parte da equipe. Minhas responsabilidades e contribuições cresceram junto com minhas capacidades, independentemente do meu título. Tendo servido tanto no mercado de capitais como nos bancos de investimento das finanças corporativas, agradeço a exposição em profundidade a uma grande variedade de produtos e empresas financeiras em toda a Ásia. No meu papel atual como analista na equipe de finanças corporativas, estou constantemente fazendo malabarismos com diferentes negócios com diferentes clientes, entregas e prazos o que me excita especialmente quando o trabalho que minha equipe produz beneficia as estratégias de crescimento de nossos clientes. Nomura continua a expandir-se rapidamente. Com base no nosso impulso significativo, continuamos a gerar novas oportunidades de negócios. Este é o lugar para os graduados que procuram um ambiente estimulante e desafiante intelectualmente e que desejam ser parte integrante de um futuro excitante. Christopher Read Christopher Read - Finanças BSc em Banca, Gestão de Amenço de Finanças, Universidade de Loughborough A oportunidade de ser dado trabalho real e responsabilidade desde o primeiro dia me impressionou e foi uma das principais razões para eu se candidatar a Nomura. Como estagiário na equipe de Controle de Produtos de Renda Fixa, eu era responsável por produzir demonstrações diárias de ganhos e perdas, que incluíam a reconciliação de diversos feeds de dados, comparando estimativas de mesa e comunicando quaisquer discrepâncias com os comerciantes. Isso me deu grande exposição na mesa e com os comerciantes. À medida que me tornei mais confiante e eficiente, recebi produtos e comerciantes adicionais para cobrir. Nomura se destaca em proporcionar oportunidades reais para estagiários e graduados. No atual clima econômico, há muitos desafios, mas também oportunidades para se envolver mais. Eu tenho cada vez mais responsabilidade, enquanto alguns dos meus amigos ainda estão fazendo papéis semelhantes quando começaram. O treinamento de graduação incluiu sessões de habilidades técnicas e soft. As habilidades suaves O treinamento de apresentações poderosas foi particularmente valioso - nossos arremessos foram gravados e depois reproduzidos, o que foi realmente útil e informativo. Minhas responsabilidades cresceram constantemente desde que se juntaram ao programa de graduação rotacional. Fui fortemente envolvido em várias pesquisas perspicazes para a alta administração. No Gerenciamento de custos, o Google Analytics desenvolvi um processo interno de alocação de custos, melhorou o conteúdo e a visão das Informações de Gerenciamento Internas (MI) e trabalhei na entrega de várias iniciativas de economia de custos. Na equipe de Relatórios Regulatórios, tomei posse de vários processos e relatórios importantes e desempenhou recentemente uma função chave do projeto na entrega e no relatório do novo Razão de Cobertura de Liquidez do CRDIV (LCR) para o Regulador do Reino Unido (PRA). Minha principal sugestão para futuros estagiários é a flexibilidade e a rede. Você precisa ser flexível em sua abordagem ao trabalho. Esteja pronto para assumir novos projetos e tarefas que podem estar fora do seu mandato. Seja proativo e não tenha medo de desafiar o status quo. Elisabeth Kilbane Elisabeth Kilbane, Mercados Globais, Nova Iorque, em Economia no Instituto de Tecnologia de Massachusetts (MIT) Rota para Nomura: o verão antes do meu último ano de faculdade, internado com Nomura e no final do verão, recebi e Aceitou uma oferta de emprego a tempo inteiro. Para me preparar para a minha entrevista, leio sobre eventos atuais e os mercados, e considerei antecipadamente as experiências pessoais que me levaram a aplicar. Também investiguei a própria Nomura, de modo que entendi o papel das empresas no cenário das finanças globais. Meu conselho é manter a calma durante a entrevista. Você pode ser solicitado algumas questões técnicas que são difíceis de preparar antes do tempo. Dê as perguntas ao seu melhor tiro, mas não permita que eles o dominem ou nublem o resto da sua entrevista. Durante o meu estágio, tive a oportunidade de trabalhar em projetos com pessoas muito idosas. Fui confiado para assumir a responsabilidade pelos projetos e esperava contribuir de forma significativa desde o início. Por isso, houve grandes expectativas de desenvolvimento ao longo do programa, e senti como se meus mentores estivessem me empurrando para metas no conhecimento do meu produto. Este ambiente desafiador e favorável provou ser uma excelente experiência de aprendizagem e aprendi mais no meu verão com a Nomura do que eu fiz em qualquer estágio anterior. Nunca tendo trabalhado nos mercados financeiros antes, estava muito inseguro com o que esperar entrar no meu estágio de verão. Eu entrei em treinamento sabendo apenas o básico de finanças, e eu esperava que a experiência fosse esmagadora e altamente competitiva. No entanto, eu achei meus colegas e mentores serem extremamente úteis ao longo do verão em Nomura. Eu acredito que a chave para um estágio bem sucedido é expressar um interesse genuíno nos produtos. Os estagiários devem trabalhar para entender o melhor de suas habilidades, os produtos das mesas que eles rodam. Você pode demonstrar seu conhecimento mostrando curiosidade real e fazendo perguntas inteligentes. Embora o encontro de muitas pessoas seja, naturalmente, importante, o valor disso é aumentado tremendamente ao ter conversas de alta qualidade e deixar uma impressão positiva para aqueles que você conhece. Ifiok Ekwere Ifiok Ekwere - Investment Banking, London Joint Honors Bacharelado em Biologia e Gestão, Imperial College London O que me impressionou sobre Nomura foi a estrutura do programa de estágio. De um fundo não financeiro, eu estava interessado em completar um estágio em um banco onde eu teria a oportunidade de aprender o máximo que pudesse sobre o setor e entender onde meu conjunto de habilidades seria mais adequado. Antes do estágio eu pensei que seria mais adequado para um papel de ações, no entanto, girar entre ações e renda fixa ajudou-me a perceber meu conjunto de habilidades e os interesses foram muito mais adequados para um papel na renda fixa. Como estagiário, meu dia típico começou às 6h30. Fui responsável por resumir pontos-chave em nossa reunião comercial e atualizar a equipe. Eu assisti a reuniões específicas da mesa para organizar os dias de tarefas antes que os mercados fossem abertos para negociação. Depois de negociar, eu analisaria os dias de negociação com as equipes de liquidação para garantir que eles tinham sido registrados corretamente. No balcão de vendas da FX também criei um modelo do Excel que foi usado como plataforma para estruturar estratégias de vendas. Como um Associado, meu dia típico começa em torno das 7.30 da manhã com uma chamada de reunião da manhã. Em seguida, juntei um resumo dos destaques da Bloomberg relativos às empresas que administramos em nossa carteira de crédito. Durante a temporada de lucros, juntei resumos de resultados e os circularei para as equipes relevantes e pessoas dentro do banco. Se houver um acordo ao vivo sendo avaliado pela mesa, muitas vezes haverá uma série de reuniões com colegas nas divisões de Banca de Investimento, Finanças e Gestão de Riscos para discutir e analisar os méritos do negócio antes de ser enviado aos comitês de aprovação necessários. . Um destaque para mim foi o gerenciamento Buy-Out of Iceland Foods, foi o primeiro negócio do qual fui responsável desde o início até o final e foi uma emoção para vê-lo anunciado nas notícias após a conclusão Como formada, participei de um número Das bem conhecidas transações da EMEA Américas. Acho que o setor de bancos de investimento é fascinante e estou ansioso para ganhar mais experiência e progredir em um ritmo ainda mais rápido com minha carreira nos próximos anos. Jaap Tanke Jaap Tanke - Mercados Globais, Londres Mestrado em Finanças, Roteio da Universidade de Amsterdã para Nomura: Depois de me formar, ingressou imediatamente no programa de estágios de verão do Global Markets e no final do programa recebi uma oferta para participar em tempo integral. O que inicialmente me impressionou sobre Nomura foi a cultura aberta e quão acessível eram as pessoas. Durante o meu estágio, girei entre a mesa de contas gerenciadas em ações e a equipe de derivativos de capital corporativo. Na primeira rotação, ajudei a equipe com pequenas tarefas, já que estavam no meio do lançamento de um novo fundo. Na minha segunda rotação, eu aprendi a avaliar diferentes estruturas de opções com software interno pesquisado em ações específicas e contribuíram para diferentes slides de apresentações de livros de pitch. O treinamento interno foi muito útil. O treinamento da Bloomberg e da Thomson Reuters garantiu que eu estava em velocidade para completar tarefas enquanto estava na mesa. Havia muitas oportunidades de networking e também contribuímos para arrecadar dinheiro para a organização Rainbow Rainbow organizando diferentes atividades para que os funcionários patrocinassem os estagiários. As atividades cruzadas da divisão garantiram que nos conhecemos com outros estagiários em toda a empresa. Como graduado eu tive exposição imediata aos clientes (depois de completar minha qualificação FCA). A exposição imediata me permitiu construir relacionamentos-chave que resultaram em fazer negócios diários com algumas das principais contas agora. Meu foco no momento é tornar-se um especialista em um produto específico, para eventualmente tornar-se o go-to pessoa para meus clientes neste produto. Meu principal conselho para um estagiário é explorar a empresa se sentar com mesas e divisões diferentes, pois isso lhe dará uma ótima visão geral das diferentes posições disponíveis em um banco de investimento global. Além disso, tente adicionar valor no topo das principais tarefas do dia a dia, isso demonstrará que você está ansioso e trabalhador. Joyce Su - Global Markets, Hong Kong Graduado em MA em Matemática de Finanças, Columbia University, 2010 Voltei para a Ásia depois de trabalhar e estudar nos EUA por vários anos. O que me motivou a se juntar à Nomura quando voltei é sua reputação - é o melhor banco da Ásia, com um alcance global crescente. As pessoas aqui também influenciaram minha decisão: da minha primeira entrevista, eles me deram seu tempo e experiência para que eu pudesse encontrar o melhor papel para combinar meu conjunto de habilidades. Eles queriam que eu maximizasse meu potencial de carreira, além de combinar com uma área que os beneficiaria - era uma decisão de dois sentidos. O que define a Nomura acima de outros bancos de investimento é a cultura. As operações globais em rápida expansão estão nos tornando um líder na indústria, e esse impulso dá ao banco uma sensação de empreendedorismo. É um lugar onde as pessoas inteligentes trabalham juntas e incentivam-se mutuamente a desenvolver suas próprias idéias criativas. Sou parte da equipe Prime Services, financiando e estruturando hedge funds para nossos vendedores e comerciantes. Desde o primeiro dia eu participei de tantos aspectos do negócio e meu gerente estava interessado em receber minha opinião e opinião sobre nossos projetos. Na verdade, ele ainda aprendeu a nunca ter medo de trazer idéias à mesa, porque os gerentes aqui sempre lhe dão a chance de se destacar. Se suas idéias são boas, elas as usarão. Estou ansioso para forjar uma carreira de sucesso na Nomura. É um lugar onde você pode aprender e absorver conhecimento rapidamente e usá-lo para subir de níveis de responsabilidade mais elevados. Se você tem a atitude certa e uma paixão pelo banco de investimento, esse é o lugar ideal. Sameer Rahman Sameer Rahman - Global Markets, Singapura Graduado em Matemática, Universidade de Nova Gales do Sul. MBA em Negócios Internacionais, Universidade de Tecnologia, Sydney. Nunca duvidava que queria trabalhar em bancos de investimento, simplesmente porque a natureza da indústria é tal que o desafia a empurrar-se para fazer o melhor que puder. Juntando-se a esta indústria, eu sabia que estaria trabalhando com (ou competindo contra) algumas das pessoas mais brilhantes em torno das quais me motiva a aumentar a força. Fiquei atraído pela Nomura por causa de sua forte cultura de negócios, ambiente de equipe positivo e, o mais importante, as excelentes oportunidades oferecidas aos jovens diplomados, como eu. Estamos crescendo a um ritmo incrível e é realmente um lugar emocionante para ser, se alguém olha a pegada que já temos nesta indústria e o que estamos buscando alcançar. Desde o início, o programa de treinamento de pós-graduação de 6 semanas em Londres ajudou-nos a fortalecer nosso conhecimento em diferentes classes de ativos, além de estabelecer relacionamentos significativos com nossos colegas dos diferentes escritórios em todo o mundo. Isso nos deu a base para se instalar imediatamente quando nos juntamos à nossa mesa. Fui confiado para cobrir clientes e pedi para apresentar idéias comerciais muito cedo. Meu gerente foi muito encorajador e isso me deu a confiança para aprender e crescer muito rapidamente. Olhando para trás no ano passado e colocando tudo em perspectiva, juntar-se a Nomura foi uma das melhores decisões que fiz. Sapna Aeri Sapna Aeri - Tecnologia, Londres Bacharelado em Ciências da Computação, Cidade da Universidade Rota de Londres para Nomura: Realizei uma terceira colocação industrial com Lehman Brothers, que mais tarde resultou em um papel na Nomura. Fiquei impressionado com Nomura, pois parecia estar crescendo e se adaptando constantemente. Isso significava que eu estaria envolvido em novos projetos e tecnologia nova e em evolução para lidar com a maior demanda global. Esta foi (e ainda é) uma perspectiva emocionante Como estagiário, ganhei uma grande exposição à variedade de papéis que eu poderia seguir. Eu assisti a eventos de rede, mesas de discussão e aulas de aprendizado de amplo almoço. O pensamento de trabalhar em um banco de investimento era inicialmente bastante intimidante, no entanto, fiquei surpreso com o quão livremente eu consegui interagir com colegas de antiguidade variável, permitindo-me construir uma rede forte e experimentar uma série de perspectivas e perspectivas. A formação de pós-graduação foi realmente útil. Com antecedência em TI, tive uma compreensão limitada da banca, por isso era útil obter uma compreensão mais detalhada. Tivemos mais sessões de treinamento e desenvolvimento pessoal específicas do produto desde então, o que é ótimo para entender como você está sendo percebido pelos outros e como se apresentar em diferentes situações. Todos os dias você aprende algo novo que eu poderia estar mantendo discussões com a mesa, corretores ou equipe de desenvolvimento, ou discutiendo novas idéias, projetos e aprimoramentos para nossos sistemas atuais. As minhas responsabilidades vão desde o início e cuidar de projetos para a mesa, gerir atualizações e testes do sistema, bem como garantir que os fluxos comerciais sejam tratados corretamente. Estou aprendendo sobre negociação de opções diretamente da mesa e a gestão dos negócios através do teste em nossa plataforma de opções FX. À medida que o setor bancário evolui e muda, tenho a oportunidade de aprender sobre a nova tecnologia em oferta, alcançar novos requisitos e ver os projetos através do início ao fim. Desde que me juntei como graduado, progredi para o cargo de Analista de Negócios Sênior na tecnologia de Opções FX. Eu liderou a entrega de projetos globais de alto perfil para fins regulatórios e comerciais e eu melhorei a qualidade das entregas implementando um conjunto completo de testes . Sayaka Azuma Sayaka Azuma - Global Markets, Londres Graduado em Economia, Universidade de Kobe Depois de estudar Economia na universidade, desenvolvi uma paixão pelo financiamento, o banco de investimento parecia ser o lugar perfeito para explorar a indústria. Para mim, Nomura foi a melhor escolha. É famoso no Japão, não só por estar na vanguarda da banca, mas também por sua ética de trabalho duro e cultura dinâmica. No meu tempo, eu vi a fusão de tradicional e nova, com a aquisição da Nomuras de Lehman Brothers. Isso formou uma cultura que encoraja novos pensamentos baseados em fortes fundações, e isso o torna um lugar realmente interessante para o trabalho. Como comerciante de execução, recebo e executo ordens do nosso escritório de Londres para ações japonesas. Posso ganhar dinheiro muito rapidamente, e perder também, o que torna meu trabalho realmente excitante. Cada vez que eu triunfar, isso me faz querer mais. Isso é o que me leva a trabalhar todos os dias. Estar em constante contato com meus colegas em Londres também me faz sentir parte de um negócio internacional, não um banco japonês. Não sei quantos outros lugares poderiam oferecer isso. O que faz de Nomura um lugar emocionante para estar agora é a mudança que estamos passando. Se você tem ambição e unidade, você pode usar esses talentos para se envolver nesse processo de mudança, crescer a empresa e realmente aumentar a sua carreira. Yuta Arndt Osada Yuta Arndt Osada - Global Markets, Tóquio Eu ingressou na Nomura porque você tem muita responsabilidade desde uma fase muito precoce, e todos trabalham juntos como uma equipe para atender às necessidades do cliente. Meu dia típico começa com uma reunião da manhã das 7h10 para compartilhar informações e ter discussões sobre o preço das ações no dia anterior. Começamos a chamar clientes a partir das 8:00 da manhã com as informações da reunião da manhã. É sempre extremamente ocupado até as 9:00 da manhã, como muitos clientes preferem ser chamados antes do mercado abrir para ouvir a informação e estar preparado para a reação inicial dos estoques. Depois que o mercado abrir, continuo conversando com clientes ou volto aos analistas para ter mais discussões e analisar as reações iniciais de estoque. A partir das 12:00 da manhã, eu costumo juntar-se a reuniões com clientes ou às empresas para saber o que os clientes estão atualmente interessados. Por volta das 3:00 da tarde após o fechamento do mercado, muitas vezes temos acordos de equidade, o que torna extremamente ocupado novamente. Comece a chamar os clientes para notificá-los sobre o acordo e organizar as reuniões do road show. Às 5:00 da tarde, se um acordo for lançado, eu me juntar a uma reunião com a empresa. Caso contrário, geralmente estou me preparando para os próximos dias de reunião da manhã ou discutiendo ações com nossos analistas, depois que eu sair do escritório. O que diferencia a Nomura dos outros bancos é o espírito de trabalhar em conjunto globalmente como uma equipe para satisfazer as necessidades dos clientes em todos os momentos. Eu entrei na empresa por isso e isso é o que eu acho que nos diferencia dos outros, e o que o torna um ótimo lugar para trabalhar. Procuramos recrutar indivíduos motivados.

Message from the Group CEO Supporting Japans Future Our home market of Japan is on the verge of significant change. Since the new government came to power in 2012, we have seen early signs of an economic recovery. To build on this momentum, we need to look hard at what the country requires and how we can contribute. Given that Japan is the worlds largest creditor nation and has the worlds fastest aging population, one area that requires attention is the creation of a new social framework. At the same time, we need to revise the structure of our financial system. For Japan to grow sustainably into the future, the capital markets will have to play a more prominent role. Indeed, Japans approximately 1,500 trillion in personal financial assets holds the key to the countrys future growth. Nomura aims to support this growth by facilitating the flow of funds throughout the economy. Connecting Markets East amp West Asia is expected to account for half of the worlds GDP by 2050 and will no doubt remain the growth engine of the global economy over the coming years. However, for the region to realize its full potential, Asian countries must finance the large-scale infrastructure projects required to underpin economic growth. Japan can play a leading role here, growing together with the rest of Asia by putting its financial assets to work across the region. With Asia as our home market, this is an area in which Nomura has a distinct competitive advantage. As economies around the world mature and become increasingly global, companies and investors in the West are looking East for growth opportunities. As the only Japanese financial institution with a truly global network, Nomura is well placed to connect markets in the East and the West by leveraging our franchise to provide liquidity in the worlds capital markets. By meeting the needs of our global client base and expanding our business, we can contribute to economic growth and social development. In doing so, we aim to win the trust of our clients and society as we work towards being Asias global investment bank.

Our graduates entrepreneurial spirits are helping us to realize our strategy to become Asias global investment bank. Hear how Nomura impressed them, their experiences as interns and graduates and the evolution of their roles and responsibilities since joining. Charmaine Chong Charmaine Chong - Investment Banking, Singapore Graduated in Liberal Arts with a focus in Economics, Vassar College, USA, 2011 For most liberal arts students, investment banking may not seem like a natural career choice. I was initially skeptical as well. Although an analyst position provides the fast-paced working environment with high expectations I was looking for, I was concerned that my limited finance knowledge compared to students with a business-related degree would hold me back. However, as I went through the recruiting process, I realized that investment banks are looking for more than just the right answers to technical questions they also value the diversity in thought and depth of communication and interpersonal skills that liberal arts graduates can bring to the table. While the first few weeks as an intern or analyst can be daunting, especially for those without a finance background, Nomura has structured a training program that accelerates the learning curve. With a comprehensive curriculum and warm and consistent mentoring to support ones learning, the only other necessity is a passion to improve and to deliver high-quality work. There were two things I was greatly appreciative of within days of joining Nomura: the strong team spirit and the willingness of my colleagues to consider all opinions and ideas. Even as an intern, I was integrated immediately into and considered part of the team. My responsibilities and contributions grew along with my capabilities, regardless of my title. Having served in both capital markets and corporate finance sides of investment banking, Im grateful for the in-depth exposure to a wide variety of financial products and companies across Asia. In my current role as an analyst in the corporate finance team, Im constantly juggling different deals with different clients, deliverables and deadlines what excites me especially is when the work my team produces benefits our clients growth strategies. Nomura continues to expand rapidly. Building on our significant momentum, we continue to generate new business opportunities. This is the place for graduates looking for a stimulating and intellectually challenging environment and who want to be an integral part of an exciting future. Christopher Read Christopher Read - Finance BSc in Banking, Finance amp Management, Loughborough University The opportunity to be given real work and responsibility from day one impressed me and was a key reason I applied to Nomura. As an intern in the Fixed Income Product Control team I was responsible for producing daily profit and loss statements, which included reconciling various data feeds, comparing desk estimates and communicating any discrepancies to the traders. This gave me great exposure across the desk and with the traders. As I became more confident and efficient, I was given additional products and traders to cover. Nomura excels at providing real opportunities to interns and graduates. In the current economic climate there are many challenges but also opportunities to get more involved. I have increasingly been given more responsibility, while some of my friends are still doing similar roles to when they started. The graduate training included technical and soft skills sessions. The soft skills Delivering powerful presentations training was particularly valuable - our pitches were recorded and then replayed, which was really helpful and informative. My responsibilities have steadily grown since joining the rotational graduate program. I have been heavily involved in several insightful pieces of analysis for senior management. In Cost Management amp Analytics I developed an internal cost allocation process, improved the content and insight of internal Management Information (MI) and worked on delivering several cost saving initiatives. In the Regulatory Reporting team I have taken ownership of several key processes and reports and recently played a key project role in the delivery and reporting of the new CRDIV Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) to the UK Regulator (PRA). My top tip for future interns is flexibility and networking. You have to be flexible in your approach to work. Be ready to take on new projects and tasks that may be outside your remit. Be proactive and dont be afraid to challenge the status quo. Elisabeth Kilbane Elisabeth Kilbane, Global Markets, New York Majored in Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Route to Nomura: The summer before my senior year of college, I interned with Nomura and at the end of the summer, I received and accepted an offer of full-time employment. To prepare for my interview, I read up on current events and the markets, and I considered in advance the personal experiences that had led me to applying. I also researched Nomura itself, so that I understood the firms role in the global finance landscape. My advice is to stay calm during the interview. You may be asked some technical questions that are difficult to prepare for ahead of time. Give the questions your best shot, but dont let them overwhelm you or cloud the rest of your interview. During my internship, I was given the opportunity to work on projects with very senior people. I was trusted to take responsibility for projects and expected to contribute in a meaningful way right from the start. Because of this, there were high expectations for development throughout the program, and I felt as though my mentors were pushing me towards goals in my product knowledge. This challenging yet supportive environment proved to be an excellent learning experience, and I learned more in my summer with Nomura than I had in any previous internship. Having never worked in financial markets before, I was very unsure of what to expect going into my summer internship. I walked into training knowing only the basics of finance, and I expected the experience to be overwhelming and highly competitive. However, I found my peers and mentors to be extremely helpful throughout my summer at Nomura. I believe the key to a successful internship is to express a genuine interest in the products. Interns should work to understand to the best of their ability, the products of the desks they rotate through. You can demonstrate your knowledge by showing real curiosity and asking intelligent questions. While meeting a lot of people is of course important, the value of this is increased tremendously by having high quality conversations and leaving a positive impression on those you meet. Ifiok Ekwere Ifiok Ekwere - Investment Banking, London Joint Honors Bachelors degree in Biology and Management, Imperial College London What impressed me about Nomura was the structure of the internship program. From a non-finance background I was keen to complete an internship in a bank where I would have the opportunity to learn as much as I could about the industry and to understand where my skill set would be best suited. Before the internship I thought I would be most suited to an Equities role, however, rotating between Equities and Fixed Income helped me realize my skill set and interests were much better suited to a role in Fixed Income. As an intern my typical day started at around 6.30am. I was responsible for summarizing key points in our trading meeting and updating the team. I attended desk-specific meetings to organise the days tasks before the markets opened for trading. After trading, I would review the days trades with the settlement teams to ensure they had been booked correctly. On the FX Sales desk I also built an Excel model that was used as a platform to structure sales strategies. As an Associate my typical day starts around 7.30am with a morning meeting call. I then put together a summary of the news highlights from Bloomberg relating to the companies that we manage in our loan portfolio. During earnings season, I will put together earnings summaries and circulate these to the relevant teams and people within the bank. If there is a live deal being assessed by the desk, there will often be a series of meetings with colleagues across the Investment Banking, Finance and Risk Management divisions to discuss and analyse the merits of the deal before it is sent to the necessary approval committees. A highlight for me was the Management Buy-Out of Iceland Foods it was the first deal I was responsible for from start to finish and it was a thrill to see it announced in the news upon completion As a graduate I have been involved in a number of well-known EMEA Americas transactions. I find the investment banking industry fascinating and am looking forward to gaining more experience and progressing at an even faster pace with my career over the next few years. Jaap Tanke Jaap Tanke - Global Markets, London Masters in Finance, University of Amsterdam Route to Nomura: After I graduated, I immediately joined the Global Markets summer internship program and at the end of the program I received an offer to join full time. What initially impressed me about Nomura was the open culture and how approachable the people were. During my internship I rotated between the Managed Accounts desk in Equities and the Corporate Equity derivatives team. In the first rotation, I assisted the team with small tasks as they were in the middle of launching a new fund. In my second rotation I learned how to price different option structures with in-house software researched specific stocks and contributed towards different slides of pitch book presentations. The intern training was very helpful. The Bloomberg and Thomson Reuters training ensured I was up to speed to complete tasks while on the desk. There were a lot of networking opportunities and we also contributed towards raising money for the charity Rainbow Trust by organizing different activities for employees to sponsor the interns. The cross divisional activities ensured we met with fellow interns across the firm. As a graduate I had immediate exposure to clients (after completing my FCA qualification). The immediate exposure allowed me to build key relationships which have resulted in doing day to day business with some top accounts now. My focus at the moment is to become a specialist in one specific product, in order to eventually become the go-to person for my clients in this product. My top advice for an intern is to explore the firm sit with different desks and divisions as this will give you a very good overview of the different positions available at a global investment bank. In addition, try to add value on top of your main day to day tasks this will demonstrate that you are eager and a hard worker. Joyce Su - Global Markets, Hong Kong Graduated with an MA in Mathematics of Finance, Columbia University, 2010 I returned to Asia after working and studying in the US for a number of years. What motivated me to join Nomura when I moved back is its reputation - its the best bank in Asia, with a growing global reach. The people here also influenced my decision: from my first interview they gave me their time and expertise so that I could find the best role to match my skill set. They wanted me to maximize my career potential, as well as match me to an area that would benefit them - it was a two-way decision. What sets Nomura above other investment banks is the culture. The rapidly expanding global operations are making us a leader in the industry, and this momentum gives the bank an entrepreneurial feel. Its a place where smart people work together and encourage each other to develop their own creative ideas. I am part of the Prime Services team, financing and structuring hedge funds for our sales people and traders. From day one I participated in so many aspects of the business and my manager was keen to get my input and opinion on our projects. In fact, he still is Ive learnt never to be afraid of bringing ideas to the table, because the managers here always give you the chance to excel. If your ideas are good, they will use them. Im looking forward to forging a successful career at Nomura. Its a place where you can learn and absorb knowledge quickly, and use it to move up to higher levels of responsibility. If you have the right attitude and a passion for investment banking, this is the place to be. Sameer Rahman Sameer Rahman - Global Markets, Singapore Graduated in Mathematics, University of New South Wales. MBA in International Business, University of Technology, Sydney I never doubted that I wanted to work in investment banking, simply because the nature of the industry is such that it challenges you to push yourself to do the best you can. Joining this industry, I knew I would be working with (or competing against) some of the brightest people around which motivates me to go the extra mile. I was attracted to Nomura because of its strong business culture, positive team environment and, most importantly, the excellent opportunities afforded to young graduates such as myself. We are growing at an incredible pace and its truly an exciting place to be, if one looks at the footprint we already have in this industry and what we are striving to achieve. From the beginning, the 6 week graduate training program in London helped us strengthen our knowledge across different asset classes as well as forge meaningful relationships with our peers from the different offices across the world. It gave us the base to settle in immediately once we joined our desk. I was trusted to cover clients and asked to come up with trade ideas very early on. My manager was very encouraging and it gave me the confidence to learn and grow very quickly. Looking back on the past year and putting everything in perspective, joining Nomura was one of the best decisions I made. Sapna Aeri Sapna Aeri - Technology, London Bachelors Computer Science degree, City University London Route to Nomura: I took a third year industrial placement with Lehman Brothers, which later resulted in a role at Nomura. I was impressed by Nomura as it appeared to be constantly growing and adapting. This meant I would be involved in new projects and new and evolving technology to cope with the greater global demand. This was (and still is) an exciting prospect As an intern I gained vast exposure to the variety of roles I could pursue. I attended networking events, panel discussions and lunch amp learn sessions. The thought of working in an investment bank was initially quite intimidating, however I was surprised at how freely I was able to interact with colleagues of varying seniority, allowing me to build a strong network and experience a range of outlooks and perspectives. The graduate training was really useful. With a background in IT, I had limited understanding of banking, so it was useful to gain a more detailed understanding. We have had further product specific training and personal development sessions since then, which is great for understanding how you are being perceived by others and how to present yourself in different situations. Every day you learn something new I could be holding discussions with the desk, brokers or development team, or discussing new ideas, projects and enhancements to our current systems. My responsibilities span from kicking off and looking after projects for the desk, managing system upgrades and testing, as well as ensuring trade flows are being handled correctly. I am learning about option trading directly from the desk and the management of the trades through testing on our FX options platform. As banking evolves and changes, I have the opportunity to learn about the new technology on offer, scope out new requirements and see the projects through from start to end. Since joining as a graduate I have progressed to the position of Senior Business Analyst within FX Options technology I have led the delivery of global high profile projects for both regulatory and business purposes and I have improved the quality of deliverables by implementing a thorough suite of testing. Sayaka Azuma Sayaka Azuma - Global Markets, London Graduated in Economics, Kobe University After studying Economics at university I developed a passion for finance investment banking seemed like the perfect place for me to explore the industry further. For me, Nomura was the best choice. Its famous in Japan, not only for being at the forefront of banking but also for its hard-work ethic and dynamic culture. In my time here I have seen the fusing of traditional and new, with Nomuras acquisition of Lehman Brothers. This has formed a culture that encourages new thinking based on strong foundations, and that makes it a really interesting place to work. As an execution trader, I receive and execute orders from our London office for Japanese stocks. I can win money very quickly, and lose it too, which makes my job really exciting. Each time I succeed, it makes me want more. That is what drives me to come to work every day. Being in constant contact with my colleagues in London also makes me feel part of an international business, not a Japanese bank. Im not sure how many other places could offer that. What makes Nomura an exciting place to be right now is the change we are going through. If you have ambition and drive, you can use those talents to get involved in this change process, grow the company, and really boost your career. Yuta Arndt Osada Yuta Arndt Osada - Global Markets, Tokyo I joined Nomura because you get a lot of responsibility from a very early stage, and everyone works together as a team to meet client needs. My typical day starts with a morning meeting from 7:10am to share information and have discussions on the stock price from the previous day. We start calling clients from 8:00am with the information from the morning meeting. It is always extremely busy until 9:00am as many clients prefer to be called before the market opens in order to hear the information and be prepared for the initial reaction of stocks. After the market opens I continue to talk to clients or go back to the Analysts to have further discussions and looking at the initial stock reactions. From 12:00pm I usually join meetings with clients or sometime corporates to hear what clients are currently interested in. At about 3:00pm after the market closes, we often have equity deals, which makes it extremely busy again. I start calling clients to notify them of the deal and arrange road show meetings. At 5:00pm, if a deal is launched, I join a meeting with the company. Otherwise I am usually preparing for the next days morning meeting or discussing stocks with our Analysts, after which I leave the office. What sets Nomura apart from the other banks is the spirit to work together globally as a team to satisfy client needs all times. I joined the firm because of this and this is what I think differentiates us from others, and what makes it a very good place to work in.

Yes, we will sponsor those students we offer, but the UK Home Office will ultimately make the final decision as to whether this will be granted. Final round interviews (for Investment Banking and Global Markets) will involve a case study. Case study interviews are designed to show us your problem-solving skills and analytical thinking. We will also be looking at how you present yourself and how good your communication skills are under pressure. Why use case studies We use case study interviews because they provide us with insights into your thought processes. Problem solving is often independent of any particular subject expertise you may have and we want to see how you would tackle any of a very wide range of potential case study questions. We are interested in your expertise in general business, your ability to apply your formal education and work experience in an analytical and creative way, and your raw intelligence. What kind of questions should I expect Often a case study is business-related, but it could touch on anything - the question is not designed to test any previously acquired knowledge or experience. You will be asked to prepare an exercise from information given to you when you arrive at the interview. You will have between 45 and 60 minutes to read the data and compile your notes. You will then be asked to make recommendations. Remember, there are no right answers. You should consider all lines of argument and then present one as your chosen opinion, mentioning why you discarded the other possibilities. How to do well Practice extensively beforehand. Research case study examples on the internet and use them to build your experience. Ensure that you are able to present your pitch concisely and articulately. You will have a very limited time to get the main points across before the interviewer starts asking you questions on your rationale. Listen carefully to the question. If you like, repeat it back to your interviewer to make sure you have understood fully. Dont jump into your answer immediately. Take a moment to collect your thoughts, and get ready. Remember that we are not looking for a correct answer. It is the route you have taken to reach your answer that is important to us. Ask questions. Asking the right questions will be key to proving that you have the analytical skills we expect. The interview is meant to be interactive. Construct a logical framework with which to explore the critical issues of the case. Prioritize the issues and objectives. Dont get bogged down trying to deal with every aspect. Dont be afraid to think outside the box. Creativity is seen as a major asset at Nomura.
