Nomura Asset Management has been a reliable partner for my trading needs. The Nomura Live platform is incredibly user-friendly, and the real-time pricing features help me make informed decisions quickly. Their customer support is responsive, which is a huge plus for me as a trader. Highly recommended!

I appreciate the variety of trading instruments offered by Nomura. The range of asset classes allows me to diversify my portfolio effectively. The only downside is sometimes the withdrawal process takes longer than expected, but overall, I’m satisfied with their services.

While I like the trading platform, I’ve faced issues with customer support. It took a long time to get a response to my inquiry about my withdrawal, which was frustrating. I expected better service considering they are a well-known firm.

My experience with Nomura has been disappointing. The withdrawal process is overly complicated and took forever. The customer support was not helpful and left me feeling frustrated. I would not recommend them to others.
