Factors Likely to Influence NMR in Q2
The company’s performance for the quarter ended Sept. 30 is likely to have benefited from healthy equity trading activity, improving foreign exchange and emerging markets businesses, and steady client engagement. However, softer rates trading and moderation in wholesale activity from the preceding quarter are likely to have partly offset these positives.
NMR’s Wealth Management division is expected to have gained from continued inflows into recurring revenue assets, demand for investment products and growth in fee-based revenues.
The Investment Management division is likely to have benefited from a higher asset base and increased management fees. Meanwhile, investment banking activities and steady lending demand are anticipated to have supported revenues.
