“Fund servicing support in these sectors is increasingly important for our clients due to the increased operational and regulatory burden on the industry. Cohen’s hire reinforces MUFG’s continued commitment to adapt to clients’ needs and develop new offerings for them as their industries and needs evolve.”
Commenting on her appointment, Cohen added: “I am delighted to join MUFG Investor Services and be part of a team that is so dedicated to providing clients with high-quality solutions that are constantly advancing.”
“In my tenure in this industry, I have witnessed first-hand the immense demand placed on real estate and private equity funds, as well as the challenge for them to juggle multiple service providers. I look forward to working with clients alongside MUFG’s global team to help develop and provide holistic offerings to meet the full needs of these firms.”
