Business Unit Overview:

Cash Management is a global team responsible for maintaining intraday liquidity levels across Nomura's Nostro bank accounts by monitoring real-time cash positions and ensuring sufficient funding at close of business. The team operates by funding projected balances from posted ledger bookings within the Axial infrastructure, but since not all front office trades feed into Axial in real-time, they must maintain strong communication links with all business units that impact daily funding. Cash Management actively monitors all intraday swings from new, cancelled, or amended trades, advises the funding desk on business unit requirements and variances, and makes pre-defined assumptions to capture T0 (same-day) cash requirements before trades are booked in Axial. The team applies a particularly hands-on approach to high-volatility currencies and accounts that carry elevated risk, ensuring Treasury has full transparency on projected balances and that no funding shortfalls occur.
