IntroductionNomura’s Asia-Pacific research team has over 250 professionals, spanning twelve countries from our home in Japan. Nomura is your natural partner for all Japan-related intelligence including political, economic, corporate and social institutions. Beyond Japan, Nomura sees the Asia-Pacific as our home market extension. Our roots in these complementary markets date back some fifty years.

Our fixed-income research team covers economics, FX, rates and quantitative strategies. This team provides forecasts on macro-economies and thought leadership on fundamental ideas. Our value proposition covers three areas: First, impactful research. Nomura aims to be one of the first in the market to publish views on freshly released economic data via our First Insights report. Second, collaborative studies. Our economists and strategists work very closely together and co-author Asia Insights reports on the implications of new data or breaking events. Third, the team publishes close to twenty Asia Special Reports each year. These reports consider fundamental, longer-term thematic research ideas.

Nomura’s APAC equity research team covers over 1,120 stocks in the region and regards itself as a market leader in a number of sectors including Industrials, TMT and Consumer. Our holistic views are often presented in our flagship Anchor products. These are designed to give investors more detailed industry knowledge which can help formulate investment decisions. Our own readership data consistently advise us that this product captures most investors’ attention. Our recent Anchor Reports include our 2020 APAC Equity Strategy Outlook. This report highlights a positive scenario for APAC equities as an asset class in 2020.

Nomura recognizes that investors can access a lot of information from sources that can compete with equity research products. For this reason, Nomura is pivoting its products to ‘idea-driven material’. This requires our analysts to give an informed opinion on industries and issuers rather than simply echo the views of company management.

Our analysts are mandated with shifting the financial discussion beyond the income statement. We think investors can be overly dependent on metrics such as EPS which can be easily manipulated. Nomura encourages its analysts to look at company balance sheets and reconcile cash-flows from one financial year to the next. As many fund managers embrace ESG investing, we also ask our analysts to consider the role of other stakeholders of the business. This will help analysts challenge the capital allocation decisions of management and generate a considered debate over shareholder priorities.

In addition to the preparation of robust fundamental research, Nomura requires its analysts to consider the role of Japan and how it affects companies, industries and countries in the wider Asia-Pacific. We have constructed a research identity that we have named “Kokoro”. “Kokoro” is a Japanese word which means “heart” in an emotional sense. Our depth of understanding of Japan is one of our strongest cards, and we mandate our analysts in the wider Asia-Pacific region to explore Japanese linkages and relevance when evaluating investment cases for listed equities. Our analysts have drawn parallels between post-bubble Japan and investor concerns in present day China and Korea. These relate to demographics, exchange rate management, trade wars and capital flight. Our Korea research team has extensively analyzed corporate governance reform prospects in Korea based on implementation of the Stewardship Code in Japan. Here, Korea and Japan have similar structures, agencies and norms which lead to a compelling case for comparative analysis.

We see a significant change in how investors view APAC markets in the coming years. This change pivots around how major index providers classify markets. The convention of sub-dividing APAC into Asia ex-Japan and Japan will disintegrate in the next few years. This, we believe will be replaced by a single APAC equity asset class which is dominated by China in 2023. Against this background, we are tasking our analysts to view companies through a wider APAC lens, as we see companies in each sector competing and cooperating at local levels in all APAC markets.

We hope to develop our product offering in 2020 by addressing topical themes and filtering our vision through to stock selection. Our expertise in Japan will be championed to identify precedents or trends that can traverse geographies and lead stock selection in other proximate markets.

Nomura’s research team is tasked with the preparation of creative and imaginative content that challenges convention. Our undertaking is to give our clients a considered opinion rather than historic commentary. We are confident that Nomura’s research will make sense of the intricacies of the Asia-Pacific region. We welcome your feedback.

Certain securities are subject to fluctuations in exchange rates that could have an adverse effect on the value or price of, or income derived from, the investment.

With respect to Fixed Income Research: Recommendations fall into two categories: tactical, which typically last up to three months; or strategic, which typically last from 6-12 months. However, trade recommendations may be reviewed at any time as circumstances change. ‘Stop loss’ levels for trades are also provided; which, if hit, closes the trade recommendation automatically. Prices and yields shown in recommendations are taken at the time of submission for publication and are based on either indicative Bloomberg, Reuters or Nomura prices and yields at that time. The prices and yields shown are not necessarily those at which the trade recommendation can be implemented.
