MUFG Investor Services U.S., the U.S. asset servicing arm of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, launched a professional services group. Ana Saer, who most recently served as senior director of business transformation at Allvue Systems, will lead the new group.

The professional services group will aim to provide a blend of industry-based strategic insights and hands-on technical expertise to private-market managers seeking to transform their operations and outperform in an increasingly complex landscape. The group will work alongside the broader MUFG Investor Services U.S. team to help clients redesign their internal processes, select and implement new technology, and optimize their workflows.

“We are a client service organization to our core,” Scott Ramsey, managing director at MUFG Investor Services U.S., said. “We strive to be a trusted advisor and solutions provider to our clients by guiding them on more than just their operations. This new group will equip MUFG with additional tools in the U.S. to provide first-rate services and informed insights to clients, giving them additional capabilities beyond the services that we traditionally provide as a firm.”
