What Japan Metropolitan Fund Investment does

Diversified J-REIT owning Japanese retail and office buildings, sponsored by Mitsubishi Corp-UBS Realty.

Collects rent from tenants under leases and pays out nearly all taxable income to unitholders, which keeps it free of corporate tax. The investment corporation has no staff of its own and is run by an outside manager, Mitsubishi Corp.-UBS Realty, which also sources acquisitions. Properties are concentrated in and around Tokyo.

In one line: A diversified mall-and-office REIT.
