Nomura announces eight senior appointments in its European equity research division, covering the business services, leisure and transport & infrastructure sectors.
Top rated analysts Mark McVicar, Joel Copp-Barton and Andrew Evans join Nomura from Dresdner Kleinwort to cover the transport and infrastructure sectors. Marc Van’t Sant and Ed Steele will join to cover the business services sector from Citigroup, and Simon Larkin and Nick Thomas will join from Royal Bank of Scotland to cover the leisure industry. Rebecca Langley joins the firm from Dresdner Kleinwort in a sales capacity as an industry specialist and will be covering the business services, leisure and transport & infrastructure sector group.
The appointments provide Nomura with the industry experience of three top-three ranked research teams in all areas of the business services, leisure and transport sectors. This news follows the recent announcement that Nomura hired six European equity experts including heads of team for the oil and gas, pharmaceuticals and industrials sectors.
“These new appointments signify a new chapter for Nomura’s research offering in Europe, Middle East and Africa,” says Paul Norris, head of EMEA equity research. “We have chosen to take a long-term view, growing equity research as others pull back. Our clients have always valued industry depth and experience and we are delighted to bring three more top-ranked teams to our research platform.”
