Japanese investment bank Nomura Holdings Inc. (NMR) aims to
achieve a top five ranking for its three key business areas in
France, the joint head of its French operations said Monday.
With more than 100 staff in France, Nomura wants to seal a place
among the top five in league tables for mergers and acquisitions
advisory, equities and fixed income activities, Jerome Calvet, the
co-president of Nomura France said at a presentation to
journalists.
Calvet, who is also head of Nomura's investment banking
activities in France, is co-president of Nomura France alongside
Hiroyuki Yamamoto.
Nomura has been working to broaden its international activities
following the acquisition of Lehman Brothers' European and Asian
operations last year.
The bank is targeting a top 10 place in the mergers and
acquisitions advisory sector in France "rapidly" and hopes to
eventually enter the top five, Calvet said.
