Ravi Raju, who heads Nomura’s wealth management business ex-Japan told Reuters: “The plan for us is to grow to about 135 relationship managers in the next two years, which will help us double our business.”
To serve wealthy clients in Greater China, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, the company presently employs 91 private bankers in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Dubai.
Nomura has reconfigured the company to be an integral part of the wholesale division which provides high net-worth people a wide range of investment products and services ranging from equity to structured products – much like what it does to institutional clients.
By March 2025, the bank is targeting doubling the assets under management in its foreign wealth management division from $15bn to $35bn, following a three-year business makeover that increased those assets and added 1,200 new customer accounts.
