Focusing on economic and financial areas, we at the Data Science Department are working on applied analysis with the use of mathematical models. Specifically, we are carrying out analysis of the economies and financial markets using econometric models including machine learning and various analyses utilizing various alternative data (credit card payment information, location information from mobile phones, sales information from POS systems, and various text information on the Internet). From last year, we have also been working on the simulation analysis of impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economies using epidemiological models. Furthermore, in the field of SDGs, we carry out experimental studies to help realize the goals, including ESG-related measurement analysis and analysis of impact of the climate change on the financial conditions of financial institutions. The research results are released to the society in the form of reports to institutional investors and academic papers. With regard resources, we are proactively promoting alliance with universities and private research institutions, and recruiting highly professional people using the Nomura Passport Program, etc.
The Global Markets Digital Strategy Department contributes to business transformation in Nomura Securities by formulating digital strategies for Global Markets.

At the FI Quantitative Development of the Rates Trading Department, we are responsible for supporting Nomura’s trading operations with derivative quants. Major operations include development of a system for trading decision making based on mathematical models defined with stochastic differential equations. In the process of development, we not only design mathematical models. We also implement the models and provide the deliverables to the users. In our operations, we are collaborating with derivative quants experts stationed overseas, including those at Nomura’s London office. Our academic backgrounds are varied, such as physics, mathematics and computer science, and we have a lot of opportunities to exercise our mathematical abilities in full in supporting trades with quantitative analysis. We are also proud of being part of a team supporting Japan’s financial infrastructure, contributing to the company and ultimately to the society. We welcome those of you wishing to improve yourself while confronting the financial market that is varying widely from day to day.
The Risk Management Department of Nomura Group is analyzing a vast quantity of market information and complicated terms and conditions of financial agreements to estimate the impact of changes in the market environment on the earnings of the entire Group, including overseas operations. In order to estimate the profitability of the huge portfolio under envisaged market environments in the future, it is essential to have mathematical models that are designed in conformity with various mathematical and financial engineering theories. However, these models are not necessarily sufficient for the analysis of all economic activities and financial products: these models may have overlooked risks that could cause huge losses. People who are aware of such limitations of the models. People who are highly sensitive for detection of changes in the financial market. People who are ready for “surprises” by imagining the impacts that such risks may cause on the financial products or counterparties. People who can further enhance the risk management operations this way. We at the Risk Management Department are looking for such people.
The Innovation Lab Department is a research & development organization established for further sophisticating the asset management. Currently, the Department is assigned two major tasks: sophistication of the asset management through the use of quantitative analysis and state-of-the-art technologies; and promotion of digitalization of asset management processes. The Department is executing various projects under various R&D themes, ranging from basic research to direct application of R&D results to the fund management. The implementation forms are also varied: in alliance with universities and venture companies; in collaboration with in-house asset management departments; and standalone researches of individual members. For example, concerning the utilization of AI, a wide range of applications are implemented, including improvement of asset management performances, marketing, and enhancement of operational processes. The Department is also accumulating various types of information including alternative data with the use of state-of-the-art technologies and is developing the analysis platform. By promoting knowledge sharing between the asset management and R&D departments, we are working to enhance the asset management capabilities of the company. We at the Department welcome those of you who are willing to venture into the new world of asset management with the state-of-the-art technologies at hand.
