Why Nomura for Interview

Hi wso, I'll interview for Nomura's London Summer Analyst program and I wanted to ask if anyone of you had any insights for the "Why Nomura?" part of the interview.

My ideas so far:

  • unique access to Asia

  • strong balance sheet

  • a lot of runway to grow

I would really appreciate your insights, thank you very much!

 
Funniest

You really like eating sushi and get lots of work life balance because there's no deals

 

-Asia/West bridge

-Acquired Greentech so strong focus on renewables

-Smaller team so exposed to models very early on, but still has capacity of large/balance sheet bank

Everyone is shitting on Nomura but it’s a decent bank. Some of their teams have great deal flow (Greentech, Infra, Consumer, levfin)… These teams place very well in BB/EB or other funds. Talking about the EMEA btw

 

Thank you very, very much for these insights! I truly appreciate your help :)
