Line Securities Announces Restructuring Plans to Emphasize Forex Margin Trading Services

Financial giant LINE Financial Corporation and its long-standing partner, Nomura Holdings, Inc. have publicized their plans to revamp the financial services division of their combined enterprise, LINE Securities Corporation.

As a crucial part of this extensive reconfiguration, LINE Securities will narrow its scope to concentrate on foreign exchange margin trading services. Simultaneously, the management of clients brokerage accounts will undergo a transition to Nomura Securities Co. Ltd.

The securities division of LINE Securities will be transitioned to Nomura Securities via a demerger (absorption-type company split). Upon completion, Nomura Securities will handle the securities services while LINE Securities will continue to offer LINE FX.
