Our business areas:

Global Corporate & Investment Banking

Our coverage team is responsible for building strong client relationships to ensure we provide the best possible service. To do this, our coverage teams need to develop an in-depth understanding of a client’s business, their needs and how MUFG can best help them.

On the Product side, we have a number of different teams, each of which specialises in a specific financing product such as Project Finance, Commodity Finance, Leveraged Finance and Securitisation, amongst others.

GCIB Financial Institution Coverage

Financial Institution coverage is in charge of the relationship management of Banks, Insurance, (Alternative) Asset Management companies in EMEA. The team is building on recent success to expand the product suite to include capital and liquidity management solutions for Insurance and Financial Sponsor clients.

While London is the centre of expertise for Financial Institutions, the FI coverage team in Europe is expanding and adding additional Financial institutions coverage team members across the European continent.

GCIB Aviation Finance

Aviation Finance team (Global Aviation Finance Office (GAFO)), is part of the Corporate and Investment Banking Division for EMEA (GCIB). GAFO is managed by a Global Head and was a newly introduced organisation connecting aviation finance teams in EMEA, Asia and US to properly run the aviation finance business seamlessly and consistently on a global basis. Building on our early success and very strong performance throughout COVID, the Bank is now seeking to expand our reach, goals and aspirations which requires, as a first step, GAFO to seek several new joiners across the platform.

GAFO has senior level support and access, and is MUFG’s first sector vertical team with oversight of all aspects of the aviation business within the Bank. This means that within GAFO, we have dedicated credit, portfolio management, Asset Management and Research teams as well as Origination working collaboratively together. As a very flat organisation, all members of GAFO have regular access to senior management.

As an expanding business, GAFO is still developing some aspects and the successful applicant will have the chance to grow with the role helping shape the future of the team and its goals. As a truly Global team, there will also be opportunities to explore assignments in different location in due course as well as with different teams.
