## Company history

Nomura’s roots date to Tokushichi Nomura I’s money-changing business in Osaka. On December 25, 1925, Tokushichi Nomura II established Nomura Securities as a separate company specializing in debt securities, with 89 employees. [28](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P141614086)

The company began expanding internationally with a New York representative office in 1927. It entered equity trading in 1938 and organized Japan’s first investment trust in 1941. From the 1960s through the 1980s, it expanded overseas through a Hong Kong broker-dealer interest, U.S. and U.K. subsidiaries, and memberships in the New York and London stock exchanges. [28](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P141614086)[29](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P141614087)[30](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P141614088)

On October 1, 2001, Nomura reorganized as a holding company, renamed the parent Nomura Holdings, Inc., and transferred its securities business to a wholly owned subsidiary. In 2007, Instinet became a subsidiary; in 2008, Nomura acquired Lehman Brothers businesses in Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East. In 2016, it completed the acquisition of a 41% economic interest in American Century Investments.
