Nomura London Teams

About to start team placement for FT, and not sure which teams have the best to offer at Nomura.


I’m looking at GII, Consumer, M&A and maybe TMS but not sure what the pros and cons are of each team. I’m looking for good deal flow (I.e not just pitches) but also somewhere with a good team culture so I don’t hate my life.


Anyone have insight on these teams?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you need to know about Nomura's GII (Greentech, Infra, and Industrials) team in London:

  • GII Team: This team has fully absorbed Nomura Greentech and is considered the strongest group at Nomura EMEA. It boasts very strong deal flow, often acting as a sole advisor without financing on many deals. However, it is known to be a sweatshop, with high workloads and the need to turn down some deals due to capacity. Despite this, the exposure is excellent, and exits to BB/EB are quite achievable. Exits to MM PE are relatively easy, though exits to MF are more limited but improving as the team's reputation grows.

Unfortunately, there isn't specific information in the dataset about the Consumer, M&A, or TMS teams at Nomura London. If you're prioritizing deal flow and culture, the GII team stands out for its strong deal flow, though the intense workload might impact the cultural aspect you're seeking.

GII is best team by a mile. They work harder. Whole bank has good culture (apart from healthcare). TMS picking up a after a few changes in the team. C&R deal flow very year dependent it seems (i.e. sometimes you're on a massive mandate other times it is just pitches). M&A has good deal flow as it's just execution work. No pitching in M&A.
