In recent developments, Nomura completed its US$1.8 billion acquisition of Macquarie Asset Management's U.S. and European public asset management business in late 2025, adding approximately US$166 billion in assets under management across equities, fixed income, and multi-asset strategies and integrating it with Nomura Capital Management and Nomura Research and Management to form a diversified platform spanning public and private markets including private credit and leveraged loans; this transaction, initially announced in April 2025, also established a strategic alliance with Macquarie for U.S. distribution of private funds to high-net-worth clients and family offices, joint investment strategy development for U.S. and Japan markets, and seed capital commitments for alternative funds tailored to wealth clients, advancing Nomura's 2030 vision for global asset management growth.
