Upcoming SMBC Nikko Securities Superday. Any Information or Advice?

Hello All,

I recently got a superday at SMBC Nikko Securities for their cross-border M&A group. There seems to be a lack of information on this site regarding this firm so any information or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Can't say I know much. But their I-bank (nikko) is fairly young in the US, M&A especially. I don't even think they were hiring junior M&A positions last year. They're biggest in DCM.

I wouldn't expect anything crazy. People there seem to be pretty down to earth. Expect accounting and valuation technicals. Try to mention how they leverage their balance sheet to drive future business.

Is this FT or SA?

 

Thanks for your input. You are right. The bank is fairly young, but they do seem to have done some pretty solid deals in 2017. They are huge in DCM, but they are trying to increase their M&A activity.

I just had my superday earlier today. The interview process was very technical. I had to do a Merger model which I felt was a bit too much to ask of a sophomore, but I was able to do it. Got a call 30 mins after the interview for a final round with 2 MDs next week. I hope I get an offer. The culture is awesome.

This is for SA.
