London, 26 February 2009 - Nomura Code, Europe’s leading Healthcare and Cleantech investment banking team, has been named ‘Adviser of the Year’ in The Rosenblatt New Energy Awards for 2009.

Nomura Code has been recognised by the Rosenblatt New Energy Awards as the most active Cleantech advisor in the UK, representing six listed companies and raising a total of £104.1 million at IPO€250m in 8 public market transactions since 2005. The judging panel assessed the brokers and advisers that floated the most new energy ventures on the market.

Nomura Code has unparalleled experience in the sector and we pride ourselves on our client orientated approach to banking. The markets have been challenging over the past year and our award is valuable recognition that we are experts in our field and hold our clients’ interests above our own.” 

Nomura Code was nominated alongside KPMG and Morgan Stanley. Additionally, Nomura was singled out due to its ecologically focused Corporate Social Responsibility policy, which outlines targets for reducing energy usage/emissions and waste, and for its efforts in promoting green purchasing.
