MC-UBSR was established in 2000 in the initial days of the J-REIT market as a joint venture between Mitsubishi Corporation and UBS Asset Management’s Real Estate & Private Markets business. MC-UBSR has grown into one of the largest real estate asset management companies in Japan today.
MC-UBSR manages two Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed J-REITs – Japan Metropolitan Fund Investment Corporation (JMF) and Industrial & Infrastructure Fund Investment Corporation (IIF) – with total assets under management of approximately USD 15 billion.
KKR is committed to further developing the MC-UBSR business, while ensuring continuity with the existing strategy, and is committed to leveraging its network and global resources to create value for JMF and IIF unitholders.
