According to Mars Finance News, on May 25th, the Financial Times of the United Kingdom reported that three informed sources revealed that SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son recently proposed establishing a joint US-Japan sovereign wealth fund, aimed at making large-scale investments in US technology and infrastructure sectors. The proposal has been discussed at the highest political levels of both countries and may become a model for other countries' governments to deepen investment cooperation with the United States. According to the proposed structure, the US Treasury and Japan's Ministry of Finance would be joint owners and operators of the fund, each holding significant equity stakes, and then opening it to other limited partner investors, potentially allowing US and Japanese citizens to subscribe to shares. Informed sources stated that to achieve investment objectives, the fund would need to reach a "massive" scale - with initial capital potentially being $300 billion, and subsequently operating with high leverage.
