How this figure is calculated

These borrowings are the consolidated group's, carried mostly by operating subsidiaries rather than by the investment company. They do not cover the same perimeter as the gross assets the chart divides, so no share is computed here: dividing one by the other would compare two different things.

What it has returned

Reporting date

Against the same world benchmark for all.

Published performance,

World index in yen, JPY, per year

Company figures as of Jun 30, 2026 · world index as of Jun 30, 2026

The company does not publish a return over one, three, five or ten years.

Method and sources

Each panel carries its own scale: lengths compare within a panel, never from one panel to the next.

A return is never converted from one currency to another: that would take the exchange rate move over the whole period, not the rate on one reporting date. The company's series are served in the issuer's currency only.

Every company covered is compared with the same benchmark, never with the index their own manager picked: a manager who picks his index also picks the bar he had to clear. This benchmark is not the MSCI ACWI itself, which belongs to MSCI and may not be redistributed. It is the median, recomputed by Opulion, of the net asset values published by three ETFs from three different managers tracking that index: iShares (IE00B6R52259), State Street SPDR (IE00B44Z5B48) and Amundi (LU1829220133). A single fund is never served on its own. Convention: last net asset value on a date at or before the reporting date, within a seven calendar day window; geometric annualisation over the nominal horizon; conversion at the European Central Bank reference rate of the day of the net asset value actually retained, a cross rate being an Opulion computation that is declared as such. The recomputation reproduces the performance each manager publishes for its own fund, to the second decimal, fifteen times out of twenty, and never departs from it by more than 0.04 point. Funds used: BlackRock, State Street and Amundi.

Converted at the reference rate of Jun 30, 2026, published by the European Central Bank. A cross rate is a computation, not a published figure: the ECB publishes rates against the euro only, and the other pairs are derived from two of them.

Getting to know SoftBank

Each answer links to its source.

  1. Who decides?

    Its founder, Masayoshi Son, the largest shareholder in his own name, who chairs the board and runs the group. The company states it has no controlling shareholder. Investments go through a dedicated committee, the largest ones through the board.

    Sourcegroup.softbank

  2. What does it own?

    First Arm, the British chip designer, which makes up 60.1 % of the value of its holdings. Next come the Vision funds, 28.7 %, which hold stakes in technology companies, OpenAI among them, then the Japanese mobile operator SoftBank Corp.

    Sourcegroup.softbank

  3. How does it choose its investments?

    Its founder borrows an image from the game of Othello: holding "the four corners of ASI", artificial superintelligence, an AI that would surpass humans. The corners are AI models, with OpenAI, chips, with Arm, data centres, and robots.

    Sourcegroup.softbank

  4. How does it make money?

    Mainly from rises in the value of its holdings, such as OpenAI or Intel, which count in its profit even without a sale. It cashes in part of them by selling shares, mostly listed ones. On top come the profits of its mobile subsidiary, SoftBank Corp.

    Sourcegroup.softbank

  5. How are shareholders paid?

    Through a dividend of 11 ¥ per share a year, paid in two instalments. And through occasional share buybacks, decided one programme at a time: the last completed one came to 330 300 M ¥, and the shares bought were cancelled.

    Sourcegroup.softbank

  6. What sets it apart

    It steers its debt by a single ratio, LTV, net debt divided by the value of its holdings: 13.0 % at the last balance sheet, under a ceiling it publishes. To raise money, it favours, whenever it can, loans secured on the shares it owns.
