Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Reorganises Overseas Securities Entities

The company revealed that effective 1 July 2025, three international subsidiaries—MUFG Securities EMEA plc, MUFG Securities Asia Limited, and MUFG Securities (Canada), Ltd.—will transfer from Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Holdings Co., Ltd. (MUSHD) to become direct subsidiaries of MUFG Bank. 

The move is subject to regulatory approvals in Japan and abroad.

The restructuring is said to align with MUFG’s medium-term business plan launched in the 2024 fiscal year, which prioritises growth strategies, including the “evolution of an integrated GCIB/Global Markets business model.” 

By consolidating management under MUFG Bank, the firm believes it will be better able to address diverse client needs and enhance flexibility in resource allocation. 

Furthermore, MUFG expects the shift to strengthen the competitive edge of its products and reinforce its international wholesale business value chain. 

Currently, MUSHD oversees the global securities operations based on its expertise.

Following the reorganisation, MUFG Bank will integrate the capital relationships and management frameworks of the subsidiaries.

The firm adds that the transition will also maintain synergies between domestic and international securities businesses.
