Pros
- One of Japan's oldest brokers, founded on December 25, 1925
- Registered with the Kanto Local Finance Bureau, number 142
- Part of Nomura Holdings, active across roughly 30 countries
- Wide product range: stocks, bonds, funds, and research desks
Cons
- Fined 21.76 million yen by Japan's FSA in October 2024
- Not a dedicated forex or CFD broker like most sites here compare
- Retail service is built mainly around Japanese language clients
Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. was founded on December 25, 1925, in Osaka, and now sits inside the wider Nomura Holdings group. Its Tokyo entity is registered with the Kanto Local Finance Bureau as Financial Instruments Business Operator number 142. Nomura runs wealth management, investment management, and wholesale banking work across roughly 30 countries.
In Japan, Nomura offers stocks, bonds, investment trusts, and other securities to retail and institutional clients, alongside global research and trading desks abroad. This is a full service securities house, not a dedicated forex or CFD broker, so it does not fit the same mold as most sites reviewed here.
On October 31, 2024, Japan's FSA ordered Nomura Securities to pay a 21.76 million yen penalty over government bond futures trades from March 2021, after a formal recommendation from Japan's Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission. Nomura paid the fine the same day and pledged stronger internal controls.
