Mitsubishi Asset Brains Co., Ltd.

Company establishment (Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo)

Mitsubishi Asset Brains (MAB) was established on December 25, 1998. Its purpose was to contribute to the growth of the mutual fund market by developing information infrastructure. December 1998 was also the time when the sale of mutual funds at bank windows was deregulated, and this served as a catalyst for the steady expansion of the mutual fund market. During that period, we believed that by enhancing information services related to mutual funds, we could have contributed in some small way to its development.
