The economist team at Mizuho Securities Equity Research is dedicated to presenting relevant economic information that complements the micro-level analysis of our sector analysts. The macro economy represents an extension of the micro economy which is in turn represented by the activities of firms and households. Through daily interaction with our sector teams, we produce macroeconomic reports that are relevant at the sector level.
As global aspects of the economy become increasingly important, and the world focuses ever more on the rapidly changing and expanding economies of Asia, we independently gather information through meetings with top managers to provide investors with innovative and valuable investment ideas.
The results of our analyses are presented through our Macroeconomic Outlook quarterly, Forex Outlook quarterly, Economic Monthly report as well as our Economic Comments, which are distributed immediately following major data releases. |

The Mizuho Securities quant team is dedicated to providing a balanced product focused on three basic areas: 1) Quantitative Tools, 2) Quantitative Strategy and 3) Customized Quantitative Solutions.
We place a strong emphasis on leveraging technology to achieve such a balance. Our time series database covers all listed and OTC Japanese equity and extends back more than 20 years on a monthly basis for more than 100 factors.
Quantitative Tools include the following:
"StyleScreen" - an interactive software tool that allows fund managers to create a customized data screen and instantly implement multiple min/max constraints to filter stocks that meet specific criteria.
"Relative Valuation Analyzer" - a tool that provides 20 years of absolute, relative to market and relative to sector valuation for any stock on a number of valuation measures.
"Sector GARP" - a tool that conducts industry specific style analysis to determine which value, which growth and which value + growth combination has been the most successful for stock selection within each industry over the last 5 years.
"Single Stock Style Analyzer" - a tool that provides a 20 year time series database of more than 100 factors for an individual stock.
Quantitative Strategy can be found in our weekly publication "Quantitative Research Update - Weekly Style Analysis." This publication contains a comprehensive review of style analysis across many different factors as well as topical reports covering a variety of topics such as "daiko henjo," investment strategies in a strong yen environment and combined quant + fundamental research joint reports. Many of our standard tools are featured in these weekly reports.
Customized Quantitative Solutions are an important component of our product menu. In some form or fashion all of our quantitative tools can be customized to meet specific needs. Whether it be a new factor for "Stylescreen" or an intra-sector style study conducted on a universe defined universe, we strive to make our data and applications as relevant and user-friendly as possible.
