(Corporate Number: 6010001074037, “Nomura”) pursuant to Article 20(1) of the Act for Establishment of the Financial Services Agency. This recommendation is based on the findings of an investigation into market manipulation, whereby the following violation of laws and ordinances was identified … … Nomura is a broker-dealer that has been registered with the Commissioner of the Kanto Local Finance Bureau as a Type I Financial Instruments Business operator. Nomura, through its trader during the course of his duties, engaged in manipulative trading typically known as “layering” in 10-year Japanese Government Bond Futures in March 2021 (“JGB Futures”) listed on the Osaka Exchange (“OSE”) for the purpose of inducing others to buy or sell JGB Futures during the period from 8:45:49 a.m. to 2:16:59 p.m. on March 9, 2021. Specifically, Nomura bought a total of 462 units at a lower price while placing a total of 2,466 unit sell orders layered at the best offer or inferior prices, and it also sold a total of 462 units at a higher price while placing a total of 1,619 unit buy orders layered at the best bid or inferior prices. This constituted a series of derivative transactions that would potentially mislead others into believing that derivative transactions are thriving and cause fluctuations in prices of the financial instrument on the OSE. The act by Nomura was found to constitute “a series of purchase and sales of securities, etc.” and “make an offer” conducted “in violation of Article 159(2)(i)” as stipulated under Article 174-2(1) of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (“FIEA”). Pursuant to the FIEA, the amount of the administrative monetary penalty applicable to the above violation is a total of 21,760,000 yen.” Nomura (25/9/24): “Japan’s Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission today issued a recommendation that the Prime Minister and the Commissioner of the Financial Services Agency impose an administrative monetary penalty against Nomura Securities for unlawful trading of Japanese government bond futures in March 2021. We take this matter very seriously and apologize to our clients and all other concerned parties for the trouble this has caused. We have been working to revise our JGB futures trading operations since these transactions occurred. We will continue to further enhance our compliance framework and internal controls to prevent similar incidents occurring in the future and to regain.”
