TOKYO, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Nomura Holdings Inc, Japan's biggest brokerage, said second-quarter profit rose nearly a third, boosted by a surge in its wholesale division, housing mergers and acquisitions advisory business as well as currency and bond trading.

Nomura said in a statement its July-September net profit climbed 31 percent to 61.2 billion yen ($586 million) from 46.6 billion yen in the same period a year earlier.
