Message From The President

As the core asset management company within the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG), we offer a diverse range of asset management services that cater to our clients’ needs.

The environment surrounding the asset management industry has changed more than ever in recent years. As the government of Japan aims to promote Japan as a Leading Asset Management Center where its economic growth leads to people’s greater asset income, the launch of the new Nippon Individual Savings Account (NISA) spurred an inflow of approximately 17 trillion yen into publicly offered investment trusts in 2024. Clients’ expectations for an asset manager are getting higher, and we feel a stronger sense of responsibility than ever before.

In fiscal 2025, we will further develop the initiatives of our medium-term management plan, which we started in fiscal 2024. Specifically, by integrally addressing “product governance enhancement” initiatives, which aim to maintain and improve the value provided by our products, with “strengthening investment management capabilities,” we will further strive to provide performance that exceeds client expectations and to create products that they can hold with confidence. Furthermore, given the rapid expansion of asset management, we will position “building a robust foundation as a financial infrastructure” as a new key initiative and focus our efforts accordingly. In June 2025, by transitioning to a company with an audit and supervisory committee, we will also aim to accelerate management decision-making and ensure greater transparency, while also advancing initiatives for “corporate governance enhancement.” In addition, by establishing an employee-led social contribution activity team and actively engaging in environmental conservation and financial literacy education for students, we will continue to promote “sustainability,” aiming to realize a sustainable society.

To achieve our Corporate Vision “Committed to shaping a prosperous future for our clients and society,” we will strive to become a full-line asset management firm trusted by an even wider range of people, and aim to provide “a driving force to realize people’s prosperous lives” as an asset management firm of MUFG.

We would greatly appreciate your continued patronage of Mitsubishi UFJ Asset Management.
