The new Mizuho Securities was formed on May 7, 2009, through the merger of Mizuho Securities and Shinko Securities. This merger combines the global franchise and wholesale securities know-how of Mizuho Securities in investment banking with the nationwide sales platform and full-service securities network of Shinko Securities. This combination will enable us to offer suitable financial services to our clients. Our goal is to be Japan's premier investment bank with a global presence.

MHSC is working closely with MHCB and other group companies to fulfill its aspiration of becoming "the global investment bank that customers trust most."
Following the merger of the former Shinko Securities and the former Mizuho Securities on May 7, 2009, the newly merged entity, Mizuho Securities, is making a fresh start, combining the former Mizuho Securities' global platform and the know-how it built up through its original wholesale securities business with the former Shinko Securities' nationwide customer base and full-service securities business network to provide higher-value-added financial services than ever before.
MHSC provides customers with all-round support through its investment banking services, 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 policy advisory services.
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.
