Daiwa Capital Markets (Daiwa), the investment banking arm of leading Japanese brokerage Daiwa Securities Group, is pleased to announce that it has upgraded the “look and feel” of its award winning equity research.
The development, which follows consultation with a number of clients, means that the firm’s research products are now even more user-friendly. Importantly, and for the first time, all Daiwa research now has a globally aligned design, reflecting the increasingly global nature of Daiwa’s business.
The research has also been updated to mirror the design behind the firm’s corporate “Centred on Asia. Serving the World” advertising campaign. This global marketing plan has seen the firm advertise extensively everywhere from Japan to Hong Kong, London and New York in a range of leading titles such as The FT, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist and specialist titles including Thomson Reuters IFR, Euroweek, Finance Asia and The Trade Asia.
Last year Daiwa announced plans for impressive investment in its pan-Asian expansion, hiring across asset classes and strengthening its global research team. As the firm moves from becoming one focused on Japan, to an investment bank dedicated to offering a wide variety of pan Asian services for its clients, its global branding naturally evolves.
Daiwa’s research is consistently ranked #1 for Japan in the highly regarded Institutional Investor rankings. Research coverage includes:
Automobiles & Components
Financials
Conglomerate
Construction/Real Estate
Consumer Durables & Apparel
Electronics
Energy
Foods/Beverage/Tobacco
Small Cap Companies
Hotels/Restaurant/Leisure
Household/Personal Products
