Anthony Morris

managing director, global head of quantitative strategies, Nomura

Tony is the global head of the Quantitative Strategies (QS) team, which has existed for over 15 years. Unlike similar teams in the industry, Nomura’s QS team has roots in macro markets and has expanded across asset classes. Clients rate the team highly, pointing to its blend of economic and empirical analysis, pragmatism, track records and coherence of approach. The QS team continues to develop and implement systematic analysis and strategies across interest rates, credit, currencies, commodities, equities and related non-linear instruments.

The QS team’s efforts have contributed to Nomura receiving industry recognition, including Global Capital Interest Rate Derivative and Volatility House of the Year (2017-2023), Interest Rate Derivative House of the Year (2023) from Risk.net, and the UCITS Diversified Award (2023) from HFM for the Nomura Cross Asset Momentum Fund.

Tony holds a PhD in financial economics from New York University and a BA from Dartmouth College, where he earned a place in the Phi Beta Kappa academic honour society.
