TOKYO: SoftBank Group Corp shares<\/a> were down 5% in afternoon trade on Wednesday, extending this week's slump that has wiped $15 billion from its market capitalisation<\/a>, as investors worried about the conglomerate's exposure to sliding U.S. tech stocks.

The fall takes SoftBank's share decline to 12% since sources told Reuters and other media late last week that the Japanese company made big bets on equity derivatives tied to tech firms.

Chief Executive Masayoshi Son<\/a> said last month SoftBank would place cash from an asset sale programme in public stocks but the complex transactions have caused jitters among retail investors in a company already widely viewed as opaque, analysts said.

The group \"needs to protect Masa's reputation by making sure it is not seen as a short-term trading giant, which would warrant a much bigger discount,\" Jefferies analyst Atul Goyal wrote in a note, referring to the gap between the value of its assets and its market valuation.

SoftBank's purchase of call options in addition to share buying, which gives access to a much higher amount of shares on paper, is seen by analysts as having exacerbated the market's run-up and subsequent sell-off.

SoftBank has previously declined to comment on the trades.
