Wealth Management Invest: Building Diversified Portfolios with Nomura’s Milissa Hutchinson

Wealth Management Invest: Building Diversified Portfolios with Nomura’s Milissa Hutchinson

David Bodamer speaks with Milissa Hutchinson, managing director and head of U.S. Wealth at Nomura Asset Management, about how financial advisors can approach diversification as they build portfolios for today’s evolving markets. Milissa shares Nomura’s perspective on diversification, explaining where the firm sees opportunities across emerging markets, small caps and innovation, including artificial intelligence-related growth beyond the largest U.S. technology companies.

Milissa also explores the income opportunities available across fixed income, including high-yield and municipal bonds, and explains where active management may play a role as markets broaden. In addition, she addresses recent concerns surrounding private credit, the importance of understanding liquidity and investment vehicles, and why viewing private credit within the context of a diversified portfolio can help advisors and investors better assess its role alongside public equities and fixed income.

Milissa discusses:

  • How diversification can support portfolio resilience while maintaining exposure to potential growth opportunities
  • Where emerging markets may offer exposure to AI growth through areas such as high-bandwidth memory and technology
  • Why small caps, quality growth, value and innovation can serve different roles within diversified equity portfolios
  • How current yields in high-yield and municipal bonds may offer income opportunities within investor portfolios
  • How financial advisors can evaluate private credit while considering diversification, liquidity and its role within the broader portfolio
