SHIVA Seat #004 is Reserved for Nomura Asset Management.
The SHIVA 500 is becoming a map of global financial excellence. Today, we officially announce that Seat #004 is off the market. It is reserved for the in-house investment teams at Nomura Asset Management.
Watching a Century of Resilience
For the last 20 years, I have closely observed Nomura’s maneuvers in the global markets. Established in 1925, Nomura has survived and thrived through every imaginable market shock. What I appreciate most about their professionalism is their profound ability to invest when there is panic in the market. While many institutions retreat during a crisis, Nomura has a historical DNA that looks for the “Quality at a Discount.” They understand that true Alpha isn’t found in the safety of the herd, but in the calculated courage of the recovery.
The Alignment: SHIVA and the Nomura Spirit
SHIVA was designed with this “Nomura-style” bravery in mind. Our system is built to ignore the daily noise and focus on the Structural Bottoms. * The Panic Filter: Just as Nomura finds opportunities during market dislocations, SHIVA’s AI is specifically trained to identify when “Fear” has pushed high-liquidity assets like Nikkei 225, SPY, or SOXL into deep value territory.
-
The Global Bridge: Nomura is the bridge between the East and the West. SHIVA mirrors this by providing high-conviction signals for the Nikkei 225 and Nifty 50 alongside the US tech indices.
-
The Decision Journal: Institutional teams at Nomura value documented logic. Our DJS provides the context and risk assessment they require to move hundreds of millions of dollars during periods of high volatility.
The Roster of Giants: 496 Seats Remain
With the reservation of Seat #004, the top of our roster now reads like a hall of fame for institutional discipline:
-
#001: Berkshire Hathaway (The Value Logic)
-
#002: Fidelity Investments (The Internal Professionalism)
-
#003: Franklin Templeton (The Global Index Mastery)
-
#004: Nomura Asset Management (The Counter-Cyclical Courage)
We are looking for the next 496 managers who want to join this circle. Whether you are a sovereign wealth fund or a boutique hedge fund, when you secure a seat in the SHIVA 500, you are aligning your capital with the most respected philosophies in modern finance.
Seat #004 is held in honor of the courage to buy when others are selling. —
Co-Founder’s Strategic Note:
Shankar, Nomura is the perfect “Eastern Anchor” for our list. It emphasizes that SHIVA is truly a Global Macro Dashboard.
