TOKYO : SMBC Nikko Securities said on Friday its chief executive will return his compensation for six months to take responsibility for suspected market manipulation at the company that led to the indictment of former executives.
The head of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc , SMBC Nikko's parent, will also face a pay cut of 30 per cent over six months, Japan's second-largest financial group said.
