Mitsubishi Corp.-UBS Realty (now KJR Management)

Wiki route

This entry sits under asset-managers INDEX as a corporate-history route: Mitsubishi Corp.-UBS Realty (MC-UBSR) was sold in full to KKR in 2022 and renamed KJR Management. It is not a current Mitsubishi Corporation subsidiary. Keep it separate from Mitsubishi UFJ Asset Management and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking (MUTB), which belong to MUFG, a different corporate group. For Mitsubishi Corporation’s treasury function, see Mitsubishi Corporation Financial Services.

1. Company overview

[!warning] Important capital change (2022) Mitsubishi Corp.-UBS Realty Inc. (MC-UBSR), once the core of the Mitsubishi Corp-affiliated real-estate AM, transferred, in 2022-04-28, all the shares held by Mitsubishi Corporation and UBS Asset Management to KKR, and its corporate name was changed to KJR Management Co., Ltd. (KJR Management). After the 2025 group reorganization, KJR Management is 100% held by KJRM Holdings, which is 100% owned by the KKR group, and it handles J-REIT management. Therefore the company is not treated as a current Mitsubishi Corp-affiliated AM.

Division of labor with the group-treasury function

Mitsubishi Corporation Financial Services is the treasury route of the Mitsubishi Corporation group, but KJR Management has been in the KKR / KJRM group since 2022. Also, the MUFG-affiliated banks, trusts, and AMs are not subsidiaries of Mitsubishi Corporation. These three corporate boundaries are not treated as a consolidated node.
