Rebrand flagged for Nomura-owned former Commsec business
Almost a year after the announcement that it was being sold to Japan’s Nomura Research Institute (NRI), Commsec former wholesale broking business is flagging a major rebrand in May.
The company has flagged that from 3 May it will have a new name and brand as it launches as a standalone business under the ownership of NRI.
The company is talking up the level of investment coming from its new owners and pointing to its desire to be a leader in integrated trading and asset administration solutions.
The Commonwealth Bank announced in April, last year, that it was selling Commsec’s wholesale broking business which includes Commsec Adviser Services.
