US Mutual Funds owning Softbank. There's nowhere I know of where I can run a screen on Softbank and find American funds holding it. Thus, I basically employed a "brute force" method (oh my god what a pain), combing all mutual funds with heavy Japanese or Internet stakes and seeing if they have Softbank in their portfolio. This is only based on Morningstar data, and different funds have different reporting dates.

I recognize that there is some fund ownership, and probably de minimis retail investors, but I presumed US ownership is quite small. [If Softbank would issue an ADR and have the ADR shares equal 1/10 of a share, I suspect that there would be great demand.] |
