SoftBank Group Corp. has decided to place the headquarters of its $100 billion technology private equity group in the hedge fund heartland of London, and has begun hiring investment advisers.
The SoftBank Vision Fund has opened offices in West London’s Mayfair, at 69 Grosvenor Street. Surrounded on all sides by luxury art galleries in one of the English capital’s most upmarket areas, it’s just a short walk to the city’s flagship designer fashion stores, or a brief stroll to Buckingham Palace.
