Morgan Stanley's history in Japan dates back to 1970 when we first opened a representative office in Tokyo. Since then, we have continued to grow over the ensuing four decades, meeting the changing needs of our clients through a focus on providing the best in financial services.
As we enter our 40th year in Japan, I am pleased to announce that we have joined forces with Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Japan’s leading financial group, to create Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities Co., Ltd. This company, housing Morgan Stanley’s sales and trading, capital markets and research businesses in Japan, underscores our deepening commitment to our clients in Japan and across the world.
The strength of Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities, a consolidated entity of Morgan Stanley, lies in the quality of our people and our seamless connectivity to Morgan Stanley’s global platform. Our equity and fixed income capabilities in sales and trading, as well as capital markets, bring significant benefits for both the users and providers of capital. The Firm’s research teams, collaborating with analysts and strategists around the world, provide a comprehensive overview of domestic and international markets.
Our global network and experience give us the resources we need to provide our clients with innovative solutions. Our incorporation in Japan has evolved through our partnership, but our dedication to service remains unchanged. We look forward to continuing our mission to provide the best support possible to our clients as they pursue their long-term goals.
