Awa Bank will provide certain financial intermediary services on behalf of Nomura Securities,
including for client accounts currently under agreement between the two companies, client
accounts transferred from Awa Bank under the alliance and any new client accounts in Tokushima
prefecture. Awa Bank will be mainly in charge of client solicitation, sales and follow-up services,while Nomura Securities will handle overall management of client accounts.
Employees from Nomura Securities will be seconded to Awa Bank to collaborate on various
financial intermediary services under the alliance. They will also share Nomura’s knowledge andexpertise and the wealth of information the firm has to support Awa Bank’s sales activities.

products and services to their clients as well as consulting solutions.

their functions to form a new department at Awa Bank, tentatively named the Financial AssetConsulting Department. Operations under the alliance will be mainly conducted through this newdepartment.
The new Financial Asset Consulting Department will operate from four sales branches inTokushima prefecture, including Awa Bank’s head office. People will also be assigned to othermajor branches and work together with Awa Bank’s branch offices to provide high value-added
services to clients.
In addition, to help salaried employees prepare for the demands of a longer life, the companies
will leverage Awa Bank’s network to provide preferential tax schemes such as NISA and iDeco,as well as bonds, investment trusts, and other accumulation-type products. In so doing, the twocompanies aim to raise their assets under management from the current approximate total of 750
billion yen to 1 trillion yen in 5 years.
