The Client
Nomura is a global financial services group with an integrated network spanning over 30 countries and regions. They service the needs of individuals, institutions, corporates and governments.
The Challenge
The complex nature of structured credit products makes pricing and valuation challenging tasks. To support its structured credit team, Nomura required cutting-edge analytics that could accurately model complex deals and provide independent valuation and risk management capabilities.
Why Quantifi?
A growing number of Nomura’s buy-side clients leverage Quantifi. Using the same software, Nomura traders and structurers can help their clients model structured credit and better explain how they themselves are pricing trades. Nomura also speaks to investment managers who are interested in trading structured credit but do not have access to the right tools. Adoption of Quantifi’s solutions can open up new business avenues for these clients as well as increase distribution opportunities for Nomura’s structured credit team.
