Volpon left Standard Chartered Plc., a firm he started at in June, to take the job at Nomura, the American unit of Japan’s biggest securities firm, in New York, according to a Nomura spokesman. Prior to that, Volpon was chief strategist in Sao Paulo for CM Capital Markets.
The hiring is a part of a push by Nomura to expand its emerging-market operations, according to the Nomura spokesman, who declined to be identified in accordance with company policy.
Nomura plans to hire about 70 employees to expand in fixed income, bringing its total staff to about 200 employees in U.S. fixed income by the end of March from 130 now, Shigesuke Kashiwagi, chief executive officer of Nomura’s Americas division, said in a Sept. 10 interview. The business will focus on rates, credit, foreign exchange and securitized products.
Nomura, which was named a primary dealer by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in July, has about 900 employees in the U.S., including 200 in equities.
