MUFG Investor Services Announces Real Estate and Private Equity Hire to Bolster Limited Partner Services

MUFG Investor Services, the global asset servicing arm of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, has appointed Gila Cohen as Managing Director of Business Development Real Estate and Private Equity Limited Partner Services.

Ms. Cohen will help drive the growth of MUFG’s fund servicing solutions for real estate and private equity clients as MUFG works to meet the exceptional market demand for limited partner services. She will liaise between the client services and product development teams, prospective and current clients, and stakeholders to ensure that MUFG Investor Services continues to offer market-leading, full-service solutions to support the entirety of clients’ businesses.

“We are thrilled to have Gila join the team as a Managing Director in the U.S., who is devoted to real estate and private equity, bringing her two decades of experience as a consultant and strategic advisor to financial services clients,” said Michael Rucci, U.S. President and CEO of MUFG Investor Services. “Fund servicing support in these sectors is increasingly important for our clients due to the increased operational and regulatory burden on the industry. Gila’s hire reinforces MUFG’s continued commitment to adapt to clients’ needs and develop new offerings for them as their industries and needs evolve.”

Ms. Cohen joins from Castle Lanterra, where she was a Managing Partner focused on leading the firm’s corporate strategy, mergers and acquisitions, and private placement efforts. She has over 20 years of industry experience, including serving as the Head of Business Development and Chief Administrative Officer for Golub Capital, and then as a consultant for both Deerpath Capital Management and Courtland Partners, where she was also Head of Corporate Strategy and Client Relations.

“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,” said Ms. Cohen. “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.“
