Nomura Holdings, the largest securities firm, has decided to establish a new company in collaboration with three regional banks, including Chiba Bank, to provide advice on individual asset management via the Internet.
According to people familiar with the matter, Nomura Holdings will establish a new company by the end of the year in collaboration with Chiba Bank, which has its head office in Chiba City, Daishi Hokuetsu Bank in Niigata City, and Chugoku Bank in Okayama City. ..
The new company will provide advice on individual asset management mainly through the Internet amid growing interest in transactions such as stocks and investment trusts against the backdrop of strong stock prices.
Specifically, we are considering introducing financial products and getting commissions according to the content of consultations received from personal computers and smartphones.
The business environment for local financial institutions continues to be harsh due to the declining population and low interest rates, but this time it is expected that we will aim to secure a new source of income by partnering with Nomura.
On the other hand, Nomura has already formed a tie-up with San-in Godo Bank in Matsue City and Awa Bank in Tokushima City to sell investment trusts, and we would like to continue to cooperate with regional banks to develop local customers.
