Strengths and Characteristics of Mizuho Securities
MHSC is working closely with Mizuho Corporate Bank (MHCB) and other group companies to fulfill its aspiration of becoming "the most reliable investment bank with global reach."
MHSC provides customers with all-round support through its investment banking business, proposing management strategies and procuring funding. It has already secured a position as a market leader in the bond underwriting business and structured finance. It has also occupied a top position in M&A and other financial advisory services. These constitute its main businesses, along with providing solutions through underwriting equities, support for IPOs, IR consulting, and financial and capital management advisory services. In some business promotion sections, MHSC introduced a "double-hat" structure allowing its staff to hold posts concurrently in business promotion divisions of MHCB. This allows them to provide customers with the best possible financial services for their needs on a one-stop basis.
In providing and selling products, its principal operations cover sales and trading of bonds and equities, research and funds (investment trusts). It provides timely, high-quality information and offers high-value-added products and solutions to meet the varied investment needs of a wide range of customers at home and overseas.
It is also making efforts to utilize its network of overseas subsidiaries for the integrated development of domestic and overseas business.
