UPDATE - Nomura Securities on Brokers & Asset Managers: Cutting Estimates: Sluggish 4Q and Beyond

Analyst, Glenn Schorr, said, "Despite a rise in equity prices, trading and investment banking activity has remained sluggish so far in 4Q11. With the usually slower holiday season coming, we see little sign that activity will pick up as we close out 2011. We also expect 2012 activity levels to be impacted by the expected slowdown in Europe and remaining regulatory uncertainty. Given this backdrop, we adjusted our 4Q11 and full year estimates and also adjusted price targets on several of the capital market stocks we cover. Asset managers remain our favorite sector and we remain Neutral on Trust banks. We continue to believe the risk/reward to owning U.S. financials over the next 12 months is positive."
