The company is reportedly eyeing life and non-life insurers as it seeks to spread the risk while offering financing for large corporate deals, including leveraged buyouts. The push comes as the company seeks to limit funding through its own balance sheet to reduce the risks associated with financing such deals.

According to MUFG Bank CEO Masakazu Osawa, the more diversified the funding sources for such deals, the better. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group is seeking partners to capitalize on the growing appetite for major M&A activity among Japanese firms. The executive is courting life and non-life insurers, as they hold long-term capital, alongside government entities and private credit funds.
