Nomura Completes Acquisition of Macquarie’s U.S. & European Public Asset Management Business
Tokyo, December 1, 2025 / New York, November 30, 2025—Nomura has today announced the successful completion of the acquisition of Macquarie’s U.S. and European public asset management business. The purchase price was US$1.8 billion1 and the deal closure brings approximately US$166 billion (as of October 31, 2025) in retail and institutional client assets across equities, fixed income and multi-asset strategies, under Nomura’s global Nomura Asset Management brand.
As disclosed in April 2025, Nomura will bring its private markets business, Nomura Capital Management (NCM), and its high yield business, Nomura Corporate Research and Asset Management (NCRAM), together with the acquired assets to form Nomura Asset Management International, part of Nomura Asset Management.
Kentaro Okuda, Nomura’s President and Group CEO, said: “The successful close of this transaction marks a significant step towards our 2030 Management Vision, boosting our assets under management and diversifying and strengthening our platform.”
Headquartered in New York and Philadelphia, Shawn Lytle will be CEO, Nomura Asset Management International, and Robert Stark, President and Deputy CEO, Nomura Asset Management International. Mr. Lytle was formerly Head of Americas for Macquarie Group, while Mr. Stark will continue in his current position as CEO, Nomura Capital Management. Mr. Lytle will report functionally to Yoshihiro Namura, Head of Nomura’s Investment Management Division, and to Satoshi Kawamura, CEO and President of Nomura Holding America Inc., from an entity perspective.
Chris Willcox, Chairman of Nomura’s Investment Management Division, and Head of Wholesale, said: “We’re delighted to have completed this acquisition ahead of schedule and to welcome on board our new colleagues from Macquarie Asset Management.”
Yoshihiro Namura, Head of Investment Management Division, said: “Our goal with this transaction is simple: build a global platform with excellent investment capabilities and performance that helps clients achieve what matters most to them. I believe the new management team, led by Shawn and Robert, are well placed to deliver on our ambitions.”
Shawn Lytle, CEO, Nomura Asset Management International, said: “The newly combined business has a strong foundation, with a well-diversified platform across all major asset classes and client segments. We now have an exciting opportunity to build on the combined strengths of the new business and to grow the franchise globally.”
In addition to completing the transaction, Macquarie and Nomura have formalized a strategic partnership for product distribution and co-development of investment strategies, as was initially announced in April 2025.
Under the agreement, Nomura will distribute select Macquarie private funds to U.S. high-net-worth and family office clients. The partnership also establishes collaboration on developing innovative investment solutions for clients in the U.S. and Japan.
We have also established a joint working group between Nomura and Macquarie, as part of this partnership, to explore additional potential opportunities to create value for clients through further collaboration between the two organizations.
