Mizuho Americas today announced that Seiichi Matsunaga has
transferred from the Tokyo office to head the Japan broker dealer
business based in New York City and David Harris has been hired to
trade convertible bonds. Both are previously existing roles for the
firm, with Matsunaga reporting to Matthew DeSalvo, Head of Equities
and Harris to Daniel Albert, Managing Director, Convertible Bonds.
Matsunaga’s transfer helps Mizuho further serve the interest in
Japanese investors trading US-listed companies. Mizuho has 3,000
Japanese retail financial advisors in more than 200 regional
offices representing $307 billion in assets under management
globally. Harris strengthens the firm’s convertible bond trading
and issuance team.
“We are perfectly suited to effectively serve the surging market
of Japanese investors trading US equities,” said DeSalvo.
“Seiichi’s stellar reputation makes Mizuho the top choice for
Japanese investors looking to trade US listed firms with the same
confidence as Japanese listed companies. Further, David’s standing
as a top convertible bond trader strengthens our broad suite of
services delivered by top talent.”
Matsunaga has served Mizuho clients for more than ten years
through senior roles at Mizuho Securities Asia and Mizuho
Securities Co., Ltd in Japan. He is a graduate of Doshisha
University in Kyoto, Japan.
Harris was previously a founding partner and chief investment
officer for Acuity Capital Management. He is a graduate of the
