Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc.’s securities arm will book a $270 million loss after it closed all positions with a U.S. client at the center of a massive unwinding of leveraged bets that roiled a number of global banks.

The unit will book the hit, which is slightly lower than a previously estimated $300 million, in next quarter’s results, Japan’s largest bank said in a statement Wednesday, without naming the client. The loss is linked to Bill Hwang’s Archegos Capital Management, Bloomberg has reported.
