Layoffs at SoftBank’s Vision Fund

SoftBank Group Corp is planning a fresh round of layoffs at its Vision Fund investment arm, two people familiar with the matter said, the latest cost-cutting move at the Japanese conglomerate.

The layoffs, which could be announced in the next two weeks, may impact up to 30% of its staff at the unit, including employees in U.S., one of the people added. SoftBank’s Vision Fund unit, which has booked heavy investment losses, had headcount of 349 at the end of March, according to a company report.

The sources declined to be identified as the information was confidential. SoftBank declined to comment.

If finalized, this would follow the elimination of about 150 jobs globally at the investing arm and SoftBank Group International in September.

Vision Fund 2’s portfolio was worth $31 billion at end-March compared with an acquisition cost of $49.9 billion.

SoftBank has radically scaled back its investing activity and Son has withdrawn from public presentations to focus on the listing of chip designer Arm.

The Cambridge, England-based Arm has filed confidentially for a U.S. stock market listing that could land later this year and would provide a much-needed cash injection for SoftBank.

Intel is in talks with Arm to be an anchor investor in the chip designer’s IPO, a source familiar with the matter said on Monday.

SoftBank’s shares were up 5% in Tuesday morning trade following the news.

While SoftBank has been pursuing a defensive strategy to shore up its balance sheet, the conglomerate said in May it is looking to find a “balance between defense and offense” — a signal it could invest more in the future.
