most recent
November 2009
  • Fined £1.75m on 24 November 2009
    On 16 November 2009, the FSA imposed a penalty on Nomura International Plc of £1,750,000 (discounted from £2,500,000 for early settlement) in respect of breaches of Principles 2 and 3 of the FSA's Principles for Businesses which occurred over a prolonged period of time until June 2008. Nomura breached Principle 2 by failing to conduct its business with due skill, care and diligence and breached Principle 3 by failing to take reasonable care to organise and control its affairs responsibly and effectively, with adequate risk management systems. The Principle 2 and 3 breaches arose from failings in relation to book marking within the International Equity Derivatives business of Nomura.

The Financial Ombudsman Service only publishes complaint figures for firms with 30 or more new complaints in six months, so there are none here for this firm.
