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, was made a wholly owned subsidiary when, in 2022-04-28, Mitsubishi Corporation (8058) and UBS Asset Management AG transferred all the shares they held to KKR (its indirect subsidiary 76 Inc.) (for approximately 2,300 億円), and its corporate name was changed to KJR Management Co., Ltd. (KJR Management). That is, this core company is now not Mitsubishi Corp-affiliated but under KKR, and the old premise of this page that it is a “collective node of the Mitsubishi Corp-affiliated real-estate AM” does not hold for MC-UBSR. The table below is recorded for the purpose of organizing the history.

Item	Notes
Former core company (history)	Mitsubishi Corp.-UBS Realty Inc. (MC-UBSR) = the joint venture into which MC Asset Management (Mitsubishi Corporation 51% / UBS 49%), established in 2000 , was renamed in the same year. In 2022-04-28 KKR acquired all the shares and the corporate name was changed to “KJR Management Co., Ltd.” (assets under management approximately 1.7 兆円, managing Japan Metropolitan Fund Investment Corporation and Industrial & Infrastructure Fund Investment Corporation)
Former English	Mitsubishi Corp.-UBS Realty Inc. (now KJR Management Co., Ltd.)
Former Parent → current Parent	Former: joint venture of Mitsubishi Corporation 51% + UBS 49% → current: KKR 100% (since 2022–04 , Mitsubishi Corporation has no capital relationship)
License route	FIEA investment-management business (J-REIT management + private funds)
Wiki role (redefinition)	This page is historically a collective node of “Mitsubishi Corp-affiliated real-estate AM,” but the core MC-UBSR was sold to KKR in 2022 . The specific subsidiary carrying the existing Mitsubishi Corp-affiliated real-estate / real-asset AM function requires reconfirmation (this is not a snapshot of an individual subsidiary)

The real-estate AM industry is divided by affiliation according to where it draws the “source of real assets” from. The trading-company-affiliated camp follows a vertically integrated model that turns into funds the real assets discovered through the head office’s overseas plants / infrastructure / logistics deals + domestic development.

Division of labor with the group-treasury function

The Mitsubishi Corp-affiliated financial functions form a multilayer structure of the AM group of this page + Mitsubishi Corporation Financial Services (inward-facing CMS / group finance) + Mitsubishi Hc Capital (listed leasing / asset finance) + MUFG-affiliated banks, trusts, and AM. The AM on this page is a specialized function bearing the “fund business derived from real assets.”

[!info] Verification status confidence: tentative (based on public information 2026-05-24, partial update 2026-05-29). Mitsubishi Corp.-UBS Realty (MC-UBSR), which this page treated as the “core,” was, in 2022-04-28, fully transferred to KKR and renamed “KJR Management” (confirmed via the Mitsubishi Corporation official release and Wikipedia “KJR Management”). Therefore MC-UBSR is currently not Mitsubishi Corp-affiliated. The identification of the existing Mitsubishi Corp-affiliated real-estate / real-asset AM subsidiary that exists since 2022 is undetermined, and reconfirmation against the latest FSA list of financial-instruments business operators / the affiliated-companies list of the Mitsubishi Corporation securities report is necessary. This page is positioned as a collective node of the “Mitsubishi Corp-affiliated AM function group,” not a snapshot of a specific subsidiary. The parent trading-company page mitsubishi-corp.md has not been created → planned to be added as backlog in the future.
