Sun Dongqing, the former head of Nomura Holdings Inc.’s operations in China, has departed from the company after a prolonged period of financial struggles in the mainland market. Sun has joined East Asia Qianhai Securities Co., a Shenzhen-based firm, as part of a strategic shift in his career.
Departure Amidst Financial Challenges
Sun’s exit marks a significant change for Nomura, Japan’s largest brokerage, which has faced consistent losses from its Chinese operations over the past several years. Despite efforts to turn around its performance, the company’s activities in China have struggled to become profitable.
New Role at East Asia Qianhai Securities
Sun has officially joined East Asia Qianhai Securities, a firm based in Shenzhen, effective this month. His move to the new role is a part of a broader realignment of his career, reflecting a shift away from Nomura’s troubled Chinese operations. The registration records confirm his new position at the firm, which is backed by Hong Kong’s Bank of East Asia Ltd. and China’s Shenzhen Qianhai Financial Holdings.
Nomura’s Future in China
Despite Sun’s departure, Nomura plans to persist in exploring business opportunities within China. The brokerage remains committed to finding new strategies to enhance its market presence and overcome the challenges that have hindered its success in the mainland. Nomura’s continued efforts will focus on adapting to the dynamic Chinese financial market and seeking avenues for growth.
Conclusion
Sun Dongqing’s move to East Asia Qianhai Securities represents a significant change in the leadership landscape of Nomura’s Chinese operations. While Nomura continues its pursuit of opportunities in China, the departure underscores the ongoing difficulties faced by the brokerage in achieving profitability in the region.
