Bill Gates Investing Philosophy
The investments of the trust are managed by an outside team of portfolio managers. Bill and Melinda guide the managers in voting proxies consistent with the principles of good governance and good management. When instructing the investment managers, they also consider other issues beyond corporate profits, including the values that drive the foundation's work. They have defined areas in which the endowment will not invest, such as companies whose profit model is centrally tied to corporate activity that they find egregious.
