Nomura Ties Up With Baseball Legend to Help Retired Pro Athletes

Nomura Holdings Inc. has signed a contract with an organization led by Japanese baseball’s home run king Sadaharu Oh to support professional athletes after they retire.

Pro sports players can benefit from outside help in pursuing new careers and managing their assets after they step down, Japan’s biggest brokerage said in a statement on Tuesday. As a partner of Oh’s group, Nomura said it will help athletes stay economically independent and ensure long-term financial stability.
