JAPAN'S MIZUHO AIMS TO REMAIN A TOP 10 GLOBAL INVESTMENT BANK

Mizuho Financial Group aims to stay in the top 10 of the global investment bank league table after it became the first Japanese bank to enter the table's upper echelons in more than a decade. Mizuho secured the 10th position in LSEG's investment banking league table for the previous year, bolstered by its lead underwriting role in the initial public offering of chip designer Arm and its acquisition of U.S. mergers-and-acquisitions advisory firm Greenhill.

This marked the first time a Japanese bank had entered the top 10 since 2010 when Nomura Holdings held the ninth position. Typically, the top spots in the league table are dominated by "bulge bracket" global banks like Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan.
