Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation, a subsidiary of MUFG, has agreed to acquire 100pct of the issued shares of Link Administration Holdings Limited, the troubled Australian administrator, for AUD1.2bn (USD800m). Link Group is the largest Australian pension administration company, servicing approximately 41pct (10 million accounts) of Australian private pension members. Earlier this year Link sold its Irish and UK businesses to Waystone, following problems arising from its involvement with Neil Woodford’s failed business.
