Investing.com -- On Monday, Nikkei reported Mitsubishi UFJ (NYSE:MUFG) Financial Group’s (MUFG) intention to capitalize on the undervalued Japanese real estate market by launching a new property fund. The fund is set to invest approximately 100 billion yen ($675 million) over the next three years, demonstrating the financial group’s confidence in the long-term growth prospects of the sector.

The plan includes an initial contribution of 30 billion yen from MUFG Bank, the group’s principal banking entity. The strategy is to attract additional funds from external sources, aiming to reach the total investment goal of 100 billion yen.
