With the exception of Japanese equities, all of Nomura's agency orders in equities are now routed via Instinet.

Know a senior trader there who absolutely loves everything about it. They were shuffling people around for a while because Nomura people were going into Instinet and taking positions, but from what I know it has mostly died down. Minimal entry level positions there though.

Thanks for your input. It sounds like there is a lot of experience there then and would be a good place to learn if an entry level position was possible.

I'm sick and tired of chasing my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're going and hook up with them later.

Like Barchetta said, they have moved all the people from Nomura's Electronic Trading to Instinet. I know one of the people who started working at Nomura and has moved. They have a very solid agency business, at least in London and he seems very happy about the people he works with. But it is an agency business, so you need to know if that's your cup of tea. From what I know most juniors came from Nomura though, so I don't know how feasible it is to get in.
