Nomura

Nomura, the Tokyo-headquartered global investment bank, entered the SPAC underwriting market in 2018 and has since served as bookrunner on four blank-check IPOs, taking the left-lead role on three of those offerings. The firm operates across investment banking, equities, and fixed income with a global institutional and corporate client base spanning financial services, technology, and industrials. As of mid-2026, Nomura carries no active SPAC mandates, and none of the vehicles it helped bring to market have completed a business combination. The bank's blank-check underwriting activity has tapered in line with the broader contraction in SPAC issuance since the 2021 market peak.
