TMTPOST— Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG) is ramping up its global securitization business, with a particular focus on the U.S. market, and plans to boost headcount in the division by around 25%, a senior executive at Japan’s largest bank said in an interview. MUFG already operates in asset-backed securities tied to credit card receivables and auto loans, but the market's high liquidity and intense competition have compressed profit margins. The expansion is part of a broader effort to capture more value in a maturing and increasingly competitive space.
