Some of Britain’s biggest financial services companies failed to meet their own targets for female representation in senior management, with Nomura International Plc one of the worst performers among major banks.

Nomura International, the Japanese lender’s London-based investment bank, previously said it wanted 19% of women in senior management positions by 2022. After missing the target, it set a new objective of having 17% of women in these positions by 2026.
