Mizuho, MUFG join race by Japan's banks for money manager deals overseas
Summary: Japanese banks Mizuho and MUFG are targeting acquisitions or partnerships with overseas money managers to expand their global presence. Mizuho is prioritizing a tie-up with a private asset specialist in Europe or the U.S., while MUFG is focusing on overseas asset management, particularly in the U.S. and Europe. This move follows a trend of Japanese financial companies seeking growth opportunities abroad due to sluggish domestic growth.
