Japanese tech behemoth SoftBank has raised another $1 billion for its enormous $100 billion tech fund, which is being billed as the largest fund of its kind in the world.
The latest $1 billion for the “SoftBank Vision Fund” is coming from Japanese electronics company Sharp, according to The Financial Times.
“Sharp decided to participate in the fund because, by participating in a fund of this kind, it expects to capture an opportunity to learn about the internet of things space, which will in turn enable Sharp to accelerate its business expansion as an IoT company,” Sharp said in a statement.
SoftBank announced the fund last October, saying that it would be based in London and made up of $45 billion from Saudi Arabia, $25 billion from SoftBank, and $35 billion from other “global investors.”
Others corporates that have announced their intention to invest in the fund include Apple, Qualcomm, and Oracle founder Larry Ellison.
In December, Masayoshi Son, the chairman and CEO of SoftBank, pledged to invest half of the $100 billion pot into US technology companies.
Son met with US president Donald Trump at the time and told him that he would create 50,000 new jobs in the US as a result of his investment activities in the country. Son will reportedly be Riyadh during Trump’s visit this weekend.
In January, SoftBank hired the founder of a London-based investment fund to help manage the enormous pot of money.
Akshay Naheta, founder and chief investment officer of Knight Assets, was appointed to guide public equity investments and potential acquisitions for SoftBank’s new “Vision Fund”.
