Insurance Solutions at Nomura

Is that in asset management? If so, they probably provide asset management services to insurance clients' investment portfolios.

My advice is to start by gaining an understanding of how insurance companies make money. In a nutshell, cash comes into insurance companies from premiums, and cash gets paid out for claims. At any given time, the money that has been collected from premiums, but not yet paid for claims, is called float. Even if insurance companies take a loss on the underwriting business, investing float is where they actually make money.

Think about what kinds of asset management services can be provided to insurance companies. Obviously, insurance companies need to be risk-averse enough to cover their liabilities, but they still want to make money. Therefore, they might want help understanding the best ways to allocate assets by many factors, including asset class, sector, domicile, risk-type, etc.

These are just my thoughts. Maybe someone else will know more about this group specifically.
