The claims ledger

Claims specific enough to be falsified — and the ones that remain the venue's own measurement.

Testable claims

  • Nomura utilises internally developed tools — algorithms, internalisation engines and/or smart order routers routing to external liquidity sources — acting as principal to provide the most favorable bids and offers (nomuraholdings.com FX disclosure page)
  • The Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. was established 25 December 1925 as a spin-off from the Securities Department of Osaka Nomura Bank (nomuraholdings.com history/milestones)
  • Nomura provides top-tier electronic execution across asset classes with multiple trading centres worldwide (nomuranow.com electronic-trading portal)

Claims we cannot verify from outside

  • FX market-share / volume rankings (self-measured)
  • Liquidity quality claims in disclosures (self-measured)

A firm that publishes its own negative space — who it refuses, where it is not licensed — is materially easier to diligence than one that doesn't. The refusal list is treated here as disclosure, not as a defect.
