Size alone doesn’t define a bank’s reputation in wholesale 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. Executives and senior managers evaluated Nomura’s wholesale banking performance across six dimensions: client focus, external engagement, competitiveness, leadership and employee quality, innovativeness, and business model efficiency and effectiveness.

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