Corporate Data/Board of Directors and Statutory Auditors 33 1 To Our Shareholders and Customers I t gives me great pleasure to present the first corporate report of the new Nomura Group, headed by Nomura Holdings, Inc. (NHI). The essential pur- pose of the report is to describe and explain management’s strategies and policies. On October 1, 2001, The Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. was reorganized as a holding company. Nomura Group, comprising NHI and its domestic and overseas subsidiaries, provides customers with high value-added services and products under a unified group strategy. We seek to consistently grow shareholder value by generating broadly sustained increases in revenues from these services. Management Objectives Through a focus on Japanese customers and products that meet their needs, where business opportunities are great, Nomura Group intends to become a globally competitive financial services group. In seeking to realize our objectives, we rely on four key points of management philosophy. First, we concentrate management resources on securities businesses and other closely related businesses. Second, we provide solutions through the capital markets. Third, we make a major contribution to expanding the role of the capital market-centered financing system in Japan and so help in the country’s eco- nomic recovery. Fourth, we focus on shareholder value, seeking to ensure an average consolidated return on equity (ROE) of 10-15% over the medium to long term. Business Portfolio Our business portfolio consists of Securities Businesses (Domestic Retail and Global Wholesale) and Asset Management Businesses. In Domestic Retail, we are targeting the accumulation of individual financial assets through provision of investment consulting services. In order to meet the increasingly diversified and sophisticated needs of individual investors, we have taken steps to integrate face-to-face services with efficient IT-based services. Customers can have face-to-face consultations at branch offices while also benefiting from such convenient IT facilities as online transactions. In this way, we can enhance our consultation services, and at the same time improve customer satisfaction and the productivity of our Domestic Retail activities. Global Wholesale integrates four business activities: Fixed Income, Equity, Investment Banking and Merchant Banking. The last is a new business, added in October 2001. These four business activities offer borderless financial solutions through the capital markets to corporations and institutional investors. 2 Domestic Retail and Global Wholesale operate in close cooperation. Capitalizing on our broad network of both domestic and overseas customers, we can bring together asset management needs and financing needs on a global basis, and offer a variety of ways to improve corporate value, with the ultimate goal of achieving higher profitability. Nomura Asset Management Co., Ltd. (NAM), the core of our asset management operations, is Japan’s largest company of its kind. NAM provides a wide range of products in the fields of investment trust and advisory services. By continuing to improve our asset management and product development capabilities, we intend to increase the volume of assets under management. The strategic advantage inherent in this ambition is the achievement of a strong, stable source of revenue. Junichi Ujiie Nomura Holdings, Inc. President and Chief Executive Officer Enhancement of the Management System We aim to have a management structure that embodies the twin characteristics of efficiency and propriety. The creation of a holding company structure prompted us to reduce the number of directors from 32 to 12 in order to create a more efficient decision-making structure. The Strategic Management Committee is responsible for formulating group management strategy and allocating management resources, including capital and personnel. In addition, we have established an advisory board as a consultative body to the Strategic Management Committee. This board, made up of top managers of prestigious Japanese global corporations, offers valuable management advice and recommendations. We have set up several mechanisms to strengthen the system of management accountability and transparency. Two of the 12 board directors are outside direc- tors. On the Executive Compensation Committee, responsible for discussing modalities for Nomura Group compensation, outside directors form a majority. The Audit Committee, responsible for enhancement of the internal audit system and promotion of appropriate corporate activities throughout Nomura Group, also has an outside director. 3 Nomura Group’s Social Role We have a clear vision of our social role in broadening the scope of the securities market from a long-term perspective. Hence our sponsorship of lectures on the securities markets in Japan and overseas and our regular educational seminars at branch offices nationwide designed to widen knowledge of the securities business and its products. We are also committed to promoting the long-term invigoration of the market. Here Nomura Group is making a prominent contribution to efforts to overcome excessive reliance on the bank-centered financing system on the part of Japanese corporations and improve the functioning of the country’s capital markets so as to better meet the diverse needs of customers. We believe that these developments are essential for Japan’s economic recovery. Listing on the New York Stock Exchange NHI was listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on December 17, 2001. The purposes of the listing are as follows. First, to clearly demonstrate in Japan and overseas that our goal is to become a globally competitive Japanese financial services group. Second, to enhance information disclosure in conformity with the spirit of fair disclosure. Third, to expand our strategic options. Fourth, to strength- en corporate governance. Overall, we see the NYSE as a springboard for further developing our business. As always, we look forward to the continuing support of shareholders, customers and business partners.

We provide customers with high value-added services under a unified group strategy, seeking to consistently grow shareholder value by generating sustained revenues from these services. We identify our core businesses as the securities and other closely related businesses. We concentrate management resources on these areas in order to provide solutions through the capital markets to the asset management and financing needs of cus- tomers. To consistently grow shareholder value, we aspire to be a globally competitive Japanese financial institution by focusing on Japanese customers and products that meet their needs as a first step toward global expansion. We will establish a dominant position in our home market, which has high growth potential, and develop an organization capable of delivering services worldwide. In today’s constantly changing market environment, we seek to ensure an average consolidated return on equity (ROE) of 10-15% over the medium to long term. We pursue a unified management of NHI and its domestic and overseas subsidiaries. In executing our business strategy, we focus on global coordination of product lines rather than individual legal entities. Our business portfolio is composed of Securities Businesses, i.e., Domestic Retail and Global Wholesale, and Asset Management Businesses. Global Wholesale includes Fixed Income, Equity, Investment Banking, and, as of October 2001, Merchant Banking. We allocate capital, human and other management resources to these businesses in a flexible and effective manner, striving to respond promptly and precisely to the diverse needs of our customers within a fast-moving environment. In allocating management resources, we employ Nomura Value Added (NVA), calculated by subtracting the cost of capital from income after tax. Vision Philosophy 6 Nomura Group’s Social Role A key factor in developing a market economy is increasing the number of people that are willing to accept the risks involved in participation in the financial markets. Capital flows are the lifeblood of the economy, and we believe that they best result from deci- sions based on the collective wisdom and experience of as large a number of people as possible rather than on the judgment of a few experts. We strive to broaden the scope of the securities market and promote long-term policies for its invigoration. Specific efforts include the Nomura Asset Management Fair, intended to disseminate knowledge of investment trust products and appreciation of the importance of investment diversification, university lectures on securities mar- kets both in Japan and abroad, seminars at branch offices nationwide, and investment education programs on cable television. We hope to contribute to Japan’s economic recovery by offering solutions through the capital markets to meet the diverse needs of customers, by encouraging an adequate supply and circulation of risk capital, and by helping to develop a healthy securities market in Japan. Business Portfolio Securities Businesses Domestic Retail Asset Management Businesses Asset Management Global Wholesale Fixed Income Equity Investment Banking Merchant Banking 7 Nomura Group Management Structure of NHI Three Committees NHI has three committees: the Strategic Management Committee, Executive Compensation Committee and Audit Committee. Strategic Management Committee The Strategic Management Committee comprises the President and certain direc- tors of NHI. It is responsible for establishing Nomura Group’s business strategy, allocating management resources and developing unified corporate policies. Executive Compensation Committee The Executive Compensation Committee is made up of the President and the two outside directors. It is responsible for considering the compensation of NHI direc- tors and setting compensation modalities for executives of NHI’s subsidiaries. Audit Committee We established the Audit Committee to promote increased corporate propriety across the entire Nomura Group and enhance internal auditing. Drawing on Outside Perspectives We have sought to enhance NHI’s system of corporate governance by appointing two of 12 directors and two of four auditors from outside the company. In addition, an advisory board made up of presidents and directors of prestigious Japanese global corporations was established in March 2001 for the purpose of advising and making recommendations to the Strategic Management Committee. We solicit outside perspectives to help raise management transparency and promote efficient management. Management Structure of Nomura Holdings, Inc.

Domestic Retail Domestic Retail provides investment consulta- tion services to customers on how to grow their assets over the long term, proposing financial products and investment portfolios that are tailored to their needs with respect to lifestyle, risk tolerance and asset character, as well as market and economic conditions. Expand Client Assets and Customer Base Number of NCMS Accounts (Thousands of accounts) 3,000 2,000 1,000 0 99.3 99.9 00.3 00.9 01.3 01.9 In providing investment consultation services, we consider the diverse needs of our customers while analyzing market and economic conditions. Rather than a single financial product such as stocks, we offer customers a wide range of investment options, from low-risk/low-return investments to high-risk/high-return investments. Despite the downward trend in stock prices from April 2000, we continued to make efforts to gather personal financial assets by focusing on savings-type products such as bond investment trusts. As the graph below shows, customer assets in our custody have grown steadily for some time irrespective of stock price fluctuations. The Nomura Cash Management Service (NCMS), which increases convenience for customers and improves business efficiency, had over 2.69 million accounts as of the end of September 2001. This service provides an automatic fund-sweeping function. When securities and investment trusts are purchased, the customer’s Nomura Money Reserve Fund is automatically debited for the amount of the purchase price. When securities are sold, the proceeds are automatically credited to the customer’s Nomura Money Reserve Fund. This helps customers manage their assets without waste and allows us to improve the efficiency of our settlement processes. 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 10 Retail Client Assets and Nikkei Stock Average Retail Client Assets (Trillions of yen) Nikkei Stock Average (Yen) 42,000 35,000 28,000 21,000 14,000 7,000 0 '00.3 '01.3 85.3 Note: Nikkei Stock Average closing price at year ended March 31. 95.3 90.3 Business Model –— Combination of Face-to-Face and IT Services We provide customers with three ways to access services. They can visit any one of our 126 branch offices nationwide (as of end December 2001) for face-to-face consultation with our representative, they can go online to access IT services such as Home Trade, or they can ring the Call Center for information on a variety of administrative procedures. Drawing on the unique features of each interface, we seek to increase convenience for both high-net-worth customers and those at the asset-building stage. For example, questions about IT services like Home Trade, and address changes and other adminis- trative procedures can be handled through the Call Center, orders for stocks and other financial products can be made through Home Trade, and customers can consult about investments with representatives at branch offices. In turn, we expect to expand our cus- tomer base and increase earnings without increasing the number of personnel. Domestic Retail Business Model IT-related Services Face-to-face Services Call Center Asset Builders High-net-worth Customers Face-to-Face Services Simply offering a complete line of products or delivering high-quality information is not enough to provide the services that customers really need. In providing investment consultation services, the single most important factor is gaining an understanding of the customer’s unique circumstances through conversation, and only then providing direction on how to use our products and information to meet the customer’s individ- ual needs. Our sales representatives across Japan consult with customers to gain a clear understanding of their needs. They provide information and advice on investments to help customers meet their financial goals. To expand our customer base, we will develop a branch strategy based on detailed investigations and analyses of the distribution of customers and their financial assets by region. The opening of the Nerima branch office in July 2001 and the Kokubunji branch office in October of the same year brought the total number of domestic branch offices to 126 as of the end of December 2001.

In an effort to enhance customer convenience, we inte- grated Nomura Home Trade, Nomura Telephone Answer, Nomura Stock Price Dial, and other services that use IT into Nomura iT Support 21. We are also expanding ATM partnerships with a variety of financial institutions. Nomura Home Trade Nomura Home Trade is an online service that plays a key role in our IT services. Online accounts surpassed 770,000 as of the end of September 2001, representing a top 31% share of the market. We ensure the highest level of security in the world, and provide customers with the ability to trade online (e.g., place buy/sell orders for stocks and investment trusts) whenever they please. Customers also have access to a variety of Nomura information. Customers may try out Nomura Home Trade and other IT services at the Demonstration Corners in some branch offices.

Customers can place orders for stocks and investment trusts such as Nomura Money Management Fund (MMF), and check account balances and stock prices. This service can be accessed from public telephones and cellular phones. Nomura Stock Price Dial is an automated voice recognition service that allows customers to check current stock prices over the phone by simply naming the stock. Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) Customers can use a Nomura ATM to withdraw or deposit funds free of charge, including Sundays and holidays. We are working to enhance customer convenience by expanding our ATM network through partnerships. Customers can now access their Nomura accounts from postal savings ATMs, bank ATMs, convenience store ATMs and similar. When there is no Nomura Securities branch office nearby, customers can use the ATMs of our business partners to withdraw and, in most cases, deposit funds in their Nomura accounts. Nomura Call Center Nomura Call Center serves as a support system for our face-to-face and online securities trading services. Customers can request the following: (cid:3) Technical support for using Nomura Home Trade (cid:3) Basic administrative services, including name and address changes (cid:3) Brochures for investment trusts and other information 12 Aggregation Services It is important for our customers to have a complete grasp of their own assets under man- agement. We use the latest aggregation technology and provide the following services in order to enhance customers’ convenience. (cid:3) Display of account balances at multiple financial institutions in a single list, making it easy to see the overall balance of assets. (cid:3) Single display of only the portions of multiple websites that customers require. (cid:3) E-mail communication of information on investment trust base prices, seminars, stock markets and other useful material on asset management. Product Strategy In a long-term effort to introduce securities products as personal financial assets, we offer products tailored to the diverse needs of customers with respect to life plans, asset character and other factors. Our Global Wholesale and Asset Management operations offer an extensive product line on a stable basis. In this way, we can offer a portfolio optimized to the investment needs of customers, creating an appropriate combination of products from low risk/low return to high risk/high return. Investment Trusts A product combination that adequately achieves asset diversification is an essential part of providing proper asset management. Investment trusts are an effective means of diversifying investments. We handle a wide assortment of investment trusts, ranging from products that focus on principal safety and liquidity such as our Money Reserve Fund (MRF) and MMF to products that seek high returns like stock investment trusts. We position investment trusts as core products in our asset management business. Variable Annuity Insurance Risk/Return Profile Margin Transaction Individual Stock Stock Investment Trust Foreign Currency Bond J-REIT R e t u r n Yen Bond Fund Yen Bond MRF Bond Investment Trust Government Bond Risk We began offering variable annuity insurance in October 2001. With growing concern about life planning as a result of Japan’s declining birth rate and aging population, and the introduction of defined contribution pension plans, the need to prepare for one’s own future is expected to increase in the future. We recommend variable annuity insurance as a product that can meet the long-term individual needs of our customers. With approxi- mately 5,000 qualified sales representatives, we are looking to expand this service by actively consulting with customers about these products.

The competitive edge provided by such integration should bring excellent returns when the Japanese economy recovers. Business Strategy Business Model During the creation of the bubble economy in Japan in the late 1980s, large amounts of assets were allocated to unprofitable businesses, preventing them from being used efficiently. Since the collapse of the bubble a decade ago, many Japanese companies have been struggling to overcome the problems brought by such misallocation. Until recently, the capital markets were providing financial solutions relating to only a limited part of the balance sheet. Such solutions include equity and debt underwriting, asset management-related brokerage, and the underwriting and trading of cross-shareholdings. As a result of ongoing deregulation, including enactment of the Corporate Separation Law and other legislation concerning corporate reorganization, and development of new financing techniques, the capital markets are becoming more important in the implementation of measures designed to restructure the entire balance sheet. We aim to expand business oppor- tunities and profit by providing comprehensive resolutions to balance sheet issues through integrated Global Wholesale operations that go beyond the organization and products of Fixed Income, Equity, Investment Banking and Merchant Banking.

Drawing on our global network, we trade JGBs, corporate and other domestic bonds as well as U.S. Treasury and other foreign bonds both within Japan and abroad. We also provide independent price information for a large number of bonds. With the introduction in April 2001 of mark-to-market accounting in Japan for unlisted bonds, we are confident that our market-making capability and ten- dering service contribute significantly to the bond investments of customers, enhances our presence in the bond market and expands business opportunities. In the area of online trading, our Bond Navigator website provides a variety of bond-related services to institutional investors.

This allows corporations to reduce interest-bearing liabilities, and property and equipment ownership costs through liquidation of such assets as accounts receiv- able. At the same time, institutional investors, unable to generate high returns from conventional low-risk products due to low interest rates, are attracted to such structured products. In light of these circumstances, we are looking to strengthen our organization by positioning structured products as a core product alongside conventional bonds. Our entire global network is working together to develop and market these products. Our efforts have resulted in the securitization of GNMA project loans, re-performing mortgage loans and non-recourse commercial mortgage loans in Japan.

We focus on transactions driven by customer order flows, and integrating those order flows globally enables us to execute large-size orders smoothly and efficiently. Global Integration of Order Flows Using these globally integrated customer order flows, we can both reduce risk and increase profit. In recent years, many Japanese corporations have accelerated their liquidation of cross-shareholdings of other Japanese corporations. Responding to these circumstances, we developed a system capable of smoothly executing even a large volume of trading orders without seriously affecting the market by drawing on a broad base of individual and corporate customers both in Japan and abroad, and by applying our risk management and trading capabilities. We continue to secure a high share of off-floor and off-exchange transactions, which are frequently used to execute large volume trades of institutional investors. Trading Room Investment Banking We provide a broad range of investment banking services, including underwriting, financial advisory and other services. Underwriting We continue to strengthen our placement power by broadening our domestic retail customer base and our global institutional customer base, and to improve our ability to structure offerings in a timely manner to match issuers’ particular needs and investors’ demand. We have sponsoring relationships with about 60% of Japan’s listed and registered companies. Thirty-nine of our domestic branch offices have corporate finance teams that maintain close contacts with local corporations on investment banking matters. As a result, during the period from April 1, 2001 to 16 September 30, 2001, we lead-managed 54 out of the 212 Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) made on Japan’s stock exchanges and 23 out of the 90 IPOs made on Japan’s OTC market. In addition, we are the leading underwriter in Japan of fixed income securities issued by public corporations, municipalities and corporate issuers, as well as foreign public and private issuers and supranationals.

In Japan, a revision of the Investment Trust Law in November 2000 opened the possibility of creating invest- ment trusts on underlying investments other than marketable securities, including real estate. In November 1999, in anticipation of the legal changes, we established two subsidiaries in Japan for the purpose of developing real estate investment banking business. We acted as lead manager in listing the Office Building Fund of Japan, Inc. (a J-REIT) on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in September 2001. Securitization Securitization is the issuance of securities backed by assets such as leases and loans. For the issuer, this results in effective management of borrowed funds and the risk of holding assets. For investors, it expands the range of investment options. We established the Structured Products Department in May 2001 to improve our securitization services, and are now working on securitization projects for a variety of assets. Merchant Banking We added Merchant Banking to Global Wholesale in October 2001 as a distinct busi- ness line. This business will invest Nomura’s own capital to assist corporate reorganiza- tions. We are now working to enhance risk management in this business, and expect to reap maximum benefit when the Japanese economy recovers. Principal Finance In Europe we are active in the principal finance business. The focus of this business is to acquire under-performing, misunderstood or challenging businesses, which generally are asset-backed and offer downside protection through stable cash flows, but have significant upside. Value is generated through fundamentally changing strategy, hiring and empowering new management, and achieving operational efficiencies. The investment aim is capital appreciation, which we expect to realize after a three to seven-year holding period, although we have exited some investments for significant returns after shorter periods. 18 In Japan, we established Nomura Principal Finance Co., Ltd. (NPF) in July 2000. Drawing on the experience and expertise gained overseas, the company started investing in Japanese companies with stable cash flow and future growth prospects. NPF has thus far been successful in acquiring management rights to medium-sized companies and in tender offers for companies listed on the OTC market. The company will continue to focus on the acquisition of new projects. Strategic Alliance with Thomas Weisel Partners As part of an effort to strengthen our Global Wholesale activities, in October 2001 we concluded a strategic alliance agreement with Thomas Weisel Partners (TWP) of the United States. By combining the strengths of TWP with our own extensive customer network in Japan, we hope to expand our investment bank- ing services, including advisory services for cross-border mergers and acquisitions between Japan and the U.S., enhance our equity research capabilities, and increase our principal investment business through TWP’s investment funds. Thomas Weisel Partners Established in 1999, TWP is a research-driven merchant bank involved in investment banking, institutional brokerage, private client services, private equity investing and asset management.

Nomura Group organizes its research activities within a global framework, all the better to provide high-quality information. Development of a Global Research Framework With cross-border capital movements and globalized corporate operations now day-to- day phenomena, it has become less meaningful to view companies in a national con- text. There is also a heightened tendency for stocks in the same sectors to move in uni- son internationally. Fewer and fewer investment decisions are based on the nationality of companies and trading markets; rather, the key factor is global comparison of corpo- rate values by sector. Parallel to this development, there is a greater need than in the past to present attractive overseas investment opportunities to Japanese investors. We have taken steps to match our research organization to the scenario described above. Formerly, we took a region by region approach in our analyses of corporations and formulation of investment strategies. However, in order to enhance our global research framework, we have replaced this approach with corporate research focused on global comparison within the same sector. Collaboration between analysts is conducted flexi- bly, with global teams for each research project. Research results are distributed simul- taneously in Japanese and English in accordance with the compliance regulations of the various regions. With regard to quantitative research, we are creating an optimal model that accom- modates the best financial techniques to the particular needs of institutional investors throughout the world. We believe that by providing high-value information relating to equity, debt and investment operations we can contribute to the overall efficiency of the world’s financial and capital markets. 20 Nomura Securities Financial Research Center The research activities of the Financial Research Center are conducted by four depart- ments, namely Equity Research, Investment Strategy, Quantitative Research and Investment Banking Research. The Center’s analysts rank consistently highly in polls published by Nikkei Kinyu Shimbun and Institutional Investor. In an effort to strengthen our response to global research and compliance, for which investor needs have been increasing in recent years, we set up a Corporate Office in October 2001. (cid:2)Equity Research Department (Sector Analysts) This department has a staff complement of approximately 120, including 50 sector ana- lysts covering 630 companies. In terms of total market capitalization, it covers 85% of the First and Second Sections of the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the OTC market. In addition to analyses of companies’ financial statements, visits to plants, stores, etc., and interviews with management, the Equity Research Department carries out research on overseas subsidiaries and foreign competitors. Investment recommendations are deliv- ered to investors in the form of approximately 3,500 Morning Meeting Memos and 300 reports each year. (cid:2)Investment Strategy Department (Strategists) This department analyzes the macroeconomies of different countries and international capital flows, and makes investment recommendations on the stock markets of differ- ent countries based on the performance forecasts of analysts in the Equity Research Department. In the monthly journal Japan Stock Investment Strategies, Nomura Securities offers views on Japanese stocks, taking into account the macroeconomic environment, industry trends, corporate profitability, and the supply/demand situation. The department also publishes regular reports on the international diversification of investments, trends in hedge funds, and U.S., European and Asian stock markets. (cid:2)Quantitative Research Department (Quantitative Analysts) This department makes investment recommendations derived from quantitative analy- sis. The department is developing dialogs with investors, including pension funds, and research institutions, and provides leading-edge information on financial engineering technology. Current activities include the classification by sector of not only Japanese stocks but also stocks from the world’s other major markets, and efforts to find appro- priate valuations. As global investors increasingly require sector-by-sector analysis, improving the accuracy of international comparisons in quantitative analysis is an ongoing preoccupation of this department. (cid:2)Investment Banking Research Department (Investment Analysts) This department supports Nomura Securities’ investment banking operations. Its key functions relate not only to financing and conventional asset management, but also to corporate restructuring, assisting corporations to make the most efficient use of their assets, and making recommendations on corporate alliances and mergers and acquisi- tions. It is not unusual for this process to extend across national borders. Analysts belonging to this division therefore require in-depth knowledge of relevant legal, accounting and taxation regulations.

The asset management businesses of Nomura Group center on Nomura Asset Management Co., Ltd. (NAM). Investment Trusts Over the last few years, Japan’s investment trust business has experienced a definite structural change, characterized by a net cash inflow into stock investment trusts, despite massive fluctuations in the stock market. With the introduction of defined contribution pension plans, this business seems certain to expand significantly. Largest Balance of Assets Under Management in Investment Trusts in Japan The outstanding balance of assets under management in NAM’s public investment trusts as of the end of September 2001 was ¥2.4 trillion in stock investment trusts and ¥12.9 trillion in bond investment trusts. The total of ¥15.2 trillion placed NAM in top place in the domestic market, and the company expects its assets under management to increase steadily as demand grows.

In an attempt to fulfill the diversifying needs of our customers, we are con- stantly developing and launching new products. In July 2001, we introduced Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) in the form of a TOPIX-linked fund listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and a Nikkei 225-linked fund listed on the Osaka Securities Exchange. As of the end of November 2001, our share of assets under management in Japanese ETFs was approximately 80%. In August, we launched a Fund of Funds called “My Story,” enabling small investors to spread their investments over various investment trusts. Investment Advisory Business The investment advisory business, including the management of pension funds, continues to expand due to ongoing deregulation. Plans to expand the role of the private sector in the management of public funds will serve to raise the size of Japan’s investment advisory assets well beyond its current level of close to ¥100 trillion. The outstanding balance of assets for which NAM is contracted to provide invest- ment advice was ¥4.4 trillion as of the end of September 2001, and the balance of domestic pension fund assets for which NAM acts as advisor was ¥3.5 trillion as of the end of June 2001, putting NAM among the leaders in the Japanese market. Nomura BlackRock Asset Management Co., Ltd. Nomura BlackRock Asset Management is an investment advisory company established in April 1999 as a joint venture between Nomura Asset Management Co., Ltd. and The BlackRock Co., Inc. of the United States. BlackRock uses world-leading risk manage- ment technology, and is rated highly in the U.S., particularly for bond management. We market BlackRock’s management products and services in Japan on an exclusive basis, and Nomura BlackRock Asset Management provides investment advisory services to institutional investors such as financial institutions and pension funds. As of the end of September 2001, the outstanding balance of assets under management was approxi- mately ¥640 billion.

Nomura Group organizes lectures by directors and managers in some 80 universities throughout Japan on the significance and operations of the securities business. Nomura International Cultural Foundation Nomura Group supports a wide range of cultural activ- ities in Japan and overseas via, among others, the Nomura International Cultural Foundation. The Foundation was established on May 22, 1990. Its aim is “To provide assistance for the education of young artists, to support international exchange activities in art and culture, and to provide scholarships for foreign students studying in Japan, thereby promoting the development of international human resources and fostering international understanding as well as contributing to the promotion of Japan’s art and culture.” The most important event supported by the Foundation is the Pacific Music Festival (PMF), held over four weeks each summer in the Sapporo Art Park. PMF is an International Music Education Festival established in 1990 at the suggestion of the late Leonard Bernstein. More than 1,000 young musicians have already trained at this festival, and many of its graduates are currently engaged as performers and conductors throughout the world. In December 2000, in recognition of their continued support of PMF since its establishment, Nomura Securities and the Nomura Cultural Foundation, together with other sponsors, were awarded the Mecenat Award for Outstanding Cultivation of the Arts (1999) by the Association for Corporate Support of the Arts. Also, in March 2001 PMF was awarded the 10th Culture Life Award Grand Prix by the Japan Fashion Association for its work in promoting the role of culture as a contributor to a genuinely affluent society. PMF International Music Education Festival 2001 26 World Cup Soccer Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. is an official supplier in Japan to the 2002 FIFA World CupTM, to be co-hosted by Japan and Korea from May 31 to June 30. The tourna- ment is expected to attract a total world audience of some 30 billion fans. Nomura Securities hopes that the tournament will provide a fillip to the Asian and world economies. Nomura America Foundation The Nomura America Foundation was established in the State of New York in March 1994, since when it has generally contributed funds to charitable organizations that are of interest to Nomura employees. For example, over the past three years the Foundation has given money to educational institutions across the United States as well as to child welfare and commu- nity service organizations. Following the tragic events of September 11, 2001, Nomura employees worldwide have donated money to the Foundation for on-going relief efforts. The Foundation has distributed funds to families of fire fighters and police officers who were killed in the disaster.
