Bill Gates is one of the most well-known personalities in the world of finance even though his claim to fame is in the software business. This is because Gates has successfully built an investing empire over the past few decades that has been one of the best performers on Wall Street. Gates, who left his role on the board of Microsoft, one of the largest tech companies in the world, in May 2020 has a personal net worth of more than $105 billion. The moves that his hedge fund makes in the market are heavily scrutinized by the media.
Gates founded Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust, the investment arm of the Gates Foundation, in 2000. His personal money manager, Michael Larson, has since been overseeing the equity investments of the fund. The value of the equity portfolio of the fund was close to $33 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2022. The fund has a history of investing in firms with a long-term strategy in mind. This strategy has slowly started changing in the past few quarters as Larson prepares for a possible economic crisis.
