Message From The President

Our company continues to grow as the core comprehensive asset management firm within the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG). As of the end of January 2026, we manage approximately JPY 64 trillion in assets entrusted to us. This achievement is the result of the continued trust placed in us by our clients, for which we express our sincere appreciation.

The asset management industry is undergoing significant and rapid transformation. Accelerated initiatives toward ”Promoting Japan as a Leading Asset Management Center”, the expansion of private markets, the transition to a higher interest rate environment, and advances in technologies such as blockchain and generative AI are fundamentally reshaping the landscape. In this environment, asset managers are expected not only to deliver strong investment performance, but also to contribute to the sustainable development of the economy and society through responsible investment.

We have consistently sought to anticipate the evolving needs of our clients and to provide products and services that earn their long-term support. Looking ahead, we will continue to place our clients’ trust and expectations at the center of all that we do. In addition to our strengths in traditional asset management, we are committed to fully exploring the potential of private assets and digital assets, including cryptoassets. Through these efforts, we aim to achieve asset management in which improved investment returns and meaningful contributions to society reinforce one another.

The driving force behind these initiatives is a organizational culture that embraces challenge without fear of failure. Our organization has been shaped by multiple mergers, through which we have integrated the strengths of diverse organizational backgrounds. By respecting diverse perspectives and encouraging constructive debate, and with management taking clear ownership and leading from the front, we will continue to pursue change with speed, flexibility, and determination.

Through the steady execution of these initiatives, we aspire to become one of Japan’s leading asset management companies across all dimensions—investment capabilities, the trust of our clients and society, sustainable growth in assets under management, and the earnings power that underpins a robust operating foundation.

We sincerely ask for your continued support.

President & CEO
Yutaka Kawakami
