On May 25th, according to the British Financial Times, according to three people familiar with the matter, Masayoshi Son, the CEO of SoftBank, recently proposed the establishment of a joint sovereign wealth fund between the United States and Japan, aiming to make large-scale investments in the US technology and infrastructure sectors. The proposal has been discussed at the highest political levels in both countries and may become a model for other governments to deepen investment cooperation with the United States. Under the proposed structure, the US Treasury and Japan's Ministry of Finance will act as co-owners and operators of the fund, each holding a significant stake, and then open it to other limited partnership investors, and may allow ordinary people in the United States and Japan to subscribe to shares. To achieve the investment target, the fund size needs to reach a "huge" level - the initial capital may be 300 billion US dollars, and the subsequent operation will be highly leveraged, according to the people familiar with the matter
