Hundred 'can secure counties' futures'
Richard Gould, chief executive of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), told BBC's Test Match Special this week that Leicestershire would receive £28m following the sales which raised about £520m.
Speaking to BBC Radio Leicestershire, Jarvis said that was the figure he was expecting to arrive at the club - but warned it must be invested soundly.
"Financially it has been incredibly difficult for a club of our size to compete," he said.
"£28m is the figure that has been bandied about. We have no reason to not believe that and we should see £28m come to Leicestershire.
"Leicestershire can secure its future for more than a generation if it is spent wisely. The long-term can be really healthy and successful.
"What it must not do is fritter away the money - £28m can easily be wasted as you have seen in other sports."
The final year of The Hundred as we know it?
'Seminal moment' - stakes sold in six Hundred teams
Counties to receive Hundred money from Thursday
Jarvis announced this year that it would be his final one with the club.
He says the funds must be used to develop Grace Road into a facility that can make money all year round and secure the county's long-term future.
"Our debts are around £2m - this money will allow the club to get rid of those debts," he said.
"What you do with that money is a club decision and the members should have a say. In the next five years they have to decide what it is they can build here that can generate income for the club.
"The vision is there, but Leicestershire can't survive on playing cricket at the ground for 60-odd days a year. They have to make the ground state of the art, and one that can generate money."

SoftBank shares surge to record after optimism for AI prospects boosted Q1 earnings
By Anton Bridge and Junko Fujita TOKYO (Reuters) -Shares in SoftBank Group jumped more than 13% to a record high on Friday morning in a show of investor support for the Japanese technology investor's AI push after first quarter profit beat expectations. SoftBank's share price hit 14,205 yen at the close of morning trading. SoftBank has announced a series of mammoth investments this year, including committing $30 billion to ChatGPT maker OpenAI, as well as leading the financing for Stargate - a $500 billion data centre project in the United States. The firm beat analysts' expectations to report a net profit of 421.8 billion yen ($2.87 billion) for the April-June quarter, compared to a loss in the same period a year ago. Market enthusiasm for AI-related companies also pushed up valuations for its portfolio of listed and unlisted technology companies such that SoftBank's loan to value ratio improved to 17% at the end of June compared to 18% at the end of March. The results were "evidence of SoftBank's quality diversified portfolio, strong underlying fundamentals, thematic/secular tailwinds for its equity holdings, and the resilience of its balance sheet," Macquarie analyst Paul Golding wrote in a note. SoftBank was the biggest contributor to gains for Japan's Topix index, which rose some 1.5% to trade above the 3,000 point mark for the first time in its history. The jump will provide some relief to SoftBank investors as its shares have traded at a more than 50% discount to the value of its assets over the past five quarters. "Active investors scooped up SoftBank Group shares to beat the Topix's gain," said Seiichi Suzuki, chief equity market analyst at Tokai Tokyo Research Institute. "When the main indexes rise, they need to buy heavyweights that are rising. SoftBank's strong earnings and the Topix's gains came at the same time."

TSMC Shares Soar 4.9% To Record After Trump Announces Tariff Exemption
Shares in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, one of the world's largest chipmakers and supplier to U.S. firms including Nvidia and Apple, hit a record high in Taipei on Thursday after U.S. President Donald Trump said the company would be exempt from a newly announced 100% tariff on chip imports. The exemption would also apply to other foreign chipmakers such as Samsung that have announced investment plans in the U.S., at a time when Washington has been moving to reduce dependence on imported chips and cut into large U.S. trade and federal government deficits. 'The 100% tariff rate is eye-catching, but the meat of it is the focus on U.S. investment and manufacturing,' said Daniel Nystedt, vice president of Taipei-headquartered TriOrient Investments, a private investment fund. 'TSMC, Samsung, SK Hynix and others that have invested in or plan to invest will pay no tariff, according to the president's comments. That's big,' said Nystedt. 'For now, it means most cutting-edge chips will enter the U.S. tariff-free, including key AI accelerator chips and HBM (high bandwidth memory) chips needed in AI servers.' TSMC closed up by 4.9% at the Taiwan Stock Exchange to 1,180 New Taiwan dollars on Thursday. Its locally traded shares have soared 28% in the past 12 months on demand for AI-related chips. TSMC's U.S.-listed ADRs have climbed by nearly half during the same period at the New York Stock Exchange; they rose by 4.9% to $242.62 on Thursday following the Trump announcement. TSMC's market capitalization of more than $1 trillion is more than 11 times that of one-time U.S. chip icon Intel; it boasts at least two billionaires: founder Morris Chang, worth $5 billion on the Forbes Real-Time Billionaires List today, along with its vice chairman F.C. Tseng, worth an estimated $1.5 billion. Chairman C.C. Wei was at the White House alongside Trump in March to announce plans to increase the company's U.S. investment by $100 billion in the next five years, bringing its total American investment to $165 billion. TSMC already operates a plant in Arizona. In stock trading in South Korea today, shares in Samsung Electronics rose by 2.5% today after Trump's announcement; SK Hynix gained 1.5%. Back in Taiwan, shares in GlobalWafers, a supplier of silicon wafers that also operations in Texas and Missouri, soared by nearly 10% to NT$375, their best close since March. Trump's new semiconductor tariff policy is less friendly to smaller overseas chipmakers that don't produce chips stateside. 'The clear downside is for smaller chip makers unable to make US investments. But even there, it's important to remember President Trump has proven flexible on tariff implementation. If US automakers or other industries feel their chip supplies are at risk, they can seek help - and may get it,' Nystedt said.
