The new business division will offer equity to clients as a solution for business reorganisations and revitalisations, business succession as well as management buyouts.

Nomura will initially invest around JPY100bn ($893m) in the new business. It has not yet set any specific investment targets for the new venture, the company said.

A Merchant Banking Preparation Office will be set up on 1 December 2017, which will be responsible for sourcing deals and finalizing the new venture’s details.

Nomura will launch a new fund through which it will make equity and other investments.
