*A private REIT is an unlisted perpetual-type real estate fund. With less volatility than a listed REIT, and in comparison with general fixed-term private funds, it enables ultra-long-term investment. This type of fund was first introduced in Japan in 2010. While Mitsubishi & Co., Private REIT Inc. will be the 24th fund to be launched, it will operate under a unique strategy, drawing on Mitsubishi's group company resources, through the joint ownership of listed REITs and major properties managed by Mitsubishi group companies, as well as the inclusion of properties jointly developed by the group in its portfolio.
