Japanese bank MUFG is seeking to offload risk tied to about $2 billion of its exposure to private credit loans, according to reporting that cites talks over a potential risk-transfer arrangement. The Financial Times reports that MUFG is in discussions aimed at reducing or transferring parts of the portfolio risk associated with these private credit holdings, as the private capital sector faces strains. Channel NewsAsia also reports on the same figure and the broader effort to move the exposure off MUFG’s balance sheet. While the sources describe the objective and scale of the exposure, they do not outline finalized terms, counterparties, or the specific structure of the transaction. The reporting frames the move as part of a wider reassessment by financial institutions of risk and liquidity in private credit markets, where demand and underwriting conditions have been under pressure. Details such as timing, the exact instruments involved, and whether the transfer is partial or covers the full exposure are not confirmed in the information provided.
