Layoffs Watch ’13: Nomura

By

Cuts are said to have gone down across the pond earlier today.

Three separate headhunters, each of whom declined to be named, said there have been big cuts across the board in Nomura’s London equity research operation this afternoon. One said equities headcount has been reduced quite substantially, with utilities, healthcare and pharmaceutical research teams and a senior banking analyst among the victims. Another headhunter said the retail has also been cut.

    Why does the banner at the top of the page say "Welcome Home, Morgan Stanley – We Missed You." ???

    This question has been asked quarterly for the past 12 months or so. My understanding is that MS put a filter on them. Then, when the inevitable revolt happened, restored access. Hence, welcome back.
