Valuation methodology - Fixed Income

Nomura’s Fixed Income Strategists express views on the price of securities and financial markets by providing trade recommendations. These

can be relative value recommendations, directional trade recommendations, asset allocation recommendations, or a mixture of all three.

The analysis which is embedded in a trade recommendation would include, but not be limited to:

• Fundamental analysis regarding whether a security’s price deviates from its underlying macro- or micro-economic fundamentals.

• Quantitative analysis of price variations.

• Technical factors such as regulatory changes, changes to risk appetite in the market, unexpected rating actions, primary market activity and

supply/ demand considerations.

The timeframe for a trade recommendation is variable. Tactical ideas have a short timeframe, typically less than three months. Strategic trade

ideas have a longer timeframe of typically more than three months.
