Size alone doesn’t define a bank’s reputation in wholesale banking (i.e., commercial, corporate, and investment banking). So, what does?

Nomura — Foundations for the Future reveals the wholesale banking reputation of one of Japan’s leading financial institutions. Based on extensive field research among 4,039 key decision-makers from Fortune Global 500 and Forbes Global 2000 companies, this report offers an in-depth analysis of how Nomura is perceived in the industry. C-suite executives and senior managers evaluated Nomura’s wholesale banking performance across six dimensions: client-centricity, external engagement, competitiveness, leadership and employee quality, innovativeness, and business model efficiency and effectiveness (e.g., Nomura’s reliability as a business partner, its agility, client responsiveness, and resilience).

In essence, banks like Nomura sell us status — they sell us their reputations.

This research report presents the ‘Data Only Edition’ for Nomura — Nomura’s research results. For those seeking an even deeper understanding of the drivers behind excellence in wholesale banking, seen through the lens of clients, I strongly recommend reviewing the ‘Extended Edition’ or ‘Extended + Edition’ of the Goldman Sachs report, Goldman Sachs — The Blueprint for Leadership.

Ranked first in this extensive, multi-year study, Goldman Sachs received the most nominations, offering valuable insights for every leading bank — financial behemoth or boutique bank. While each bank faces unique challenges, the in-depth analysis of Goldman Sachs’ performance provides invaluable lessons applicable across the industry.
