SoftBank Group Corp. expects to have funded almost 200 companies once its second Vision Fund is up and running, according to Rajeev Misra, the fixed-income veteran who runs the investment vehicle.

"We have 86 companies in our portfolio in fund one, with another 100 in fund two," Misra said at the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh on Wednesday. "So those 186 companies interacting with each other and doing business with each other will be immense."
