This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hi, I have a conflict of interest and on behalf of SoftBank Vision Fund would like to request the following changes to this article:
1. Can Occupation in the Infobox and throughout the article be changed from Banker to Investor for accuracy.
2. In Early life and education can the final sentence be changed to:
Misra is a board member of both the University of Pennsylvania and MIT Sloan and is on the Board of Trustees of Kaust [1].
3. In the second paragraph of the Career section, can the following be removed as this is a 15 year old estimate which was not confirmed by the Der Spiegel source [2] quoted in the Reuters source [3]:
and was reportedly earning between 10 and 15 million euros a year.
4. Can the following update be added to the second paragraph of the Career section:
Misra held numerous senior leadership roles at SoftBank Group Corp. and its affiliates, including serving as executive vice president of SoftBank Group Corp. In 2017, Misra supported Masayoshi Son in launching the SoftBank Vision Fund, which at $98 Billion was the largest technology investment fund ever raised [4]. SoftBank Investment Advisers was established as the investment manager for the Vision Fund, with Misra as CEO. In 2019, SoftBank launched a successor fund, Vision Fund 2 [5] [6].
5. Can the third paragraph of the Career section be removed? The allegations were attributed to unnamed sources speaking on condition of anonymity which does not seem right in an article where the BLP policy applies.
6. Can the final paragraph be amended as per the below:
In July 2022,he stepped back from his executive roles at SoftBank Group to start his own venture fund,Misra set up a new investment platform, One Investment Management, in parallel to his continued commitments for SoftBank Investment Advisers, as reported by various news agencies.HeOneIM has secured over $6 billion, including from Middle East investors.

The information on One Investment Management is not something I feel should be mentioned in the article unless it has its own article, to act as a guard against it being something that only the subject feels is important enough to mention in the article, rather than organically being mentioned because of the weight of its own importance.

"The allegations were strongly denied by Misra and SoftBank itself following an extensive internal investigation" [8] [9]
To solve the problem, Mr Son enlisted SoftBank executive Rajeev Misra, an ex-debt trader who in 2006 helped SoftBank structure a complicated takeover of Vodafone Japan, to explore alternative pools of capital.
Some six weeks later, the two men would meet in Riyadh to launch plans for the largest private fund of its sort ever created — a $100bn partnership that will allow Mr Son to invest in the future of technology and for Saudi Arabia potentially to reap the benefits. (As a note, the 98 figure I have suggested is correct, the FT rounds up, but it was still the largest)
These are old allegations which contain a series of falsehoods that have been consistently denied," a spokesman for Mr. Misra said. […] A SoftBank spokeswoman said, "For several years, we have investigated a campaign of falsehoods against SoftBank Group and certain former employees in an attempt to identify those behind it. SoftBank will be reviewing the inferences made by The Wall Street Journal.
SoftBank denies the allegations, calling them "a campaign of falsehoods" that has apparently been on their radar for a number of years.
Mr. Misra will stay on in a reduced capacity at SoftBank, overseeing the original Vision Fund investments, while stepping back from oversight of its successor, Vision Fund 2, according to a Thursday memo to staff signed by SoftBank's founder, Masayoshi Son.
One Investment Management, a vehicle set up by SoftBank Vision Fund's key architect Rajeev Misra, plans to hire in New York, London and Abu Dhabi after securing an initial $6.8 billion from backers.
