Finance:Daiwa Securities Capital Markets Co. Ltd.
Daiwa Capital Markets Co. Ltd. (formerly known as Daiwa Securities SMBC Co. Ltd.) was a Japanese investment bank with headquarters in Tokyo. The company provides M&A advisory, sales and trading services in a variety of financial products to corporate and institutional clients. Daiwa CM has major subsidiaries in Hong Kong, London and New York City .
The company was founded in 1999 as Daiwa Securities SB Capital Markets Co. Ltd., a joint venture between Daiwa Securities Group (Daiwa) and Sumitomo Bank (SB). It was renamed in 2001 to Daiwa Securities SMBC Co. Ltd., after Sumitomo Bank merged with Sakura Bank on 1 April 2001 to form Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group (SMFG). However, in 2010, SMBC acquired Nikko Cordial (Japan's third largest brokerage at that time). Following this step, Daiwa dissolved the joint-venture with SMBC and re-acquired 100% of the shares in the company, before renaming it again as Daiwa Securities Capital Markets Co. Ltd. Finally, about two years later, the company merged with Daiwa Securities Co. Ltd.[1]
