But how far can that take the stock? Let's look at the chart.\n\nShares of Plug Power (PLUG) -Get Report were having a good day on Tuesday, up about 11.5% in the session.\nThe move came after the company reported earnings. Plug Power reportedbetter-than-expected revenue, allowing the stock to jump higher on the day.\nWhile the stock was up nicely in the session, sharesweren’t exactly off to the racesin premarket trading. That's likely as the company's losses widened.\nThis stock has been all over the place, but most recently it’s been under pressure.\nPlug Power rallied alongside NIO (NIO) -Get Report, Tesla (TSLA) -Get Report and other EV stocks. The ramp in GameStop (GME) -Get Report and AMC Entertainment (AMC) -Get Report didn’t hurt either.\nBut the relentless buying eventually caught up with speculators as Plug Power was obliterated.\nShares fell more than 75% from the peak in January to the low in May. As it tries to turn the corner now, let’s take a closer look at the stock.\nDaily chart of Plug Power stock. Chart courtesy of TrendSpider.com\nAhead of earnings, Plug Power stock was giving mixed signals. It was below the 200-day moving average, while the 10-day and 21-day moving averages were acting as resistance.\nOn the flip side, the 50-day and 50-week moving averages were acting as support. Further, shares were doing a good job holding up over $28.50.\nRemember, Plug Powerhas “meme-stock” potential, in that when bulls decide to ramp a stock higher, they could easily pick this one. Particularly with the stock rallying on earnings and sporting a short interest close to 10%.\nWith Tuesday’s rally, Plug Power is ripping through all of its major moving averages - including the 10-day, 21-day and 200-day - and threatening to clear the June high at $34.38.\nThat’s a big level. If it can clear that mark, there’s not much in the way to stop it from rallying to $40.\nNow that’s not to say that itwillrally to $40. Just that there’s not a lot in the stock’s path from a technical perspective should it clear the June high.\nIf shares gain momentum and start to push up toward $40, bulls will likely have their attention on the gap-fill near $42.\nOn the downside, look for previous resistance to act as support.\nFor instance, if Plug Power pushes through the June high but the rally fizzles out, look for the $34.50 area to act as support. Or if it can’t push through the June high, look for Plug Power to find the 200-day moving average as support.\nBelow that puts the 10-day and 21-day moving averages in play. Bulls will need to see these measures turn from resistance to support if they want the narrative to change.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"PLUG":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1283,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":123837560,"gmtCreate":1624415186050,"gmtModify":1634006435883,"author":{"id":"3583060403880224","authorId":"3583060403880224","name":"nihaoo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3583060403880224","idStr":"3583060403880224"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"K","listText":"K","text":"K","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/123837560","repostId":"1192656900","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1192656900","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1624414213,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1192656900?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-23 10:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"GameStop Jumps After Raising $1.1 Billion in Stock Sale Plan<blockquote>游戏驿站在股票出售计划中筹集11亿美元后股价上涨</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1192656900","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"(Bloomberg) -- GameStop Corp. climbed Tuesday after completing an at-the-market offering program by ","content":"<p>(Bloomberg) -- GameStop Corp. climbed Tuesday after completing an at-the-market offering program by selling 5 million shares for a total of $1.13 billion via Jefferies.</p><p><blockquote>（彭博社）——游戏驿站公司通过杰富瑞(Jefferies)以总计11.3亿美元的价格出售了500万股股票，完成了市场发行计划，周二股价上涨。</blockquote></p><p> Shares of the video-game retailer rose 10% to $220.40 after the announcement.

However, private companies in the tech sector today are generally choosing to remain private for longer. This means that when they eventually launch an initial public offering, these tech companies are much larger.</p><p><blockquote>例如，像亚马逊这样的公司在经历显着增长之前选择上市。然而，如今科技行业的私营公司通常选择更长时间地保持私有状态。这意味着，当它们最终进行首次公开募股时，这些科技公司的规模要大得多。</blockquote></p><p> As most tech companies have already undergone their early stages of growth prior to going public, retail investors are liable to be left topick up the scrapsonce they enter the public markets.</p><p><blockquote>由于大多数科技公司在上市之前已经经历了早期增长阶段，散户投资者一旦进入公开市场，很可能会被抛在后面。</blockquote></p><p> For instance, whenUberlaunched an IPO in 2019, its enterprise value of around $75 billion meant that the company was already 171 times larger than Amazon when it launched its initial public offering.</p><p><blockquote>例如，当优步在2019年进行IPO时，其企业价值约为750亿美元，这意味着该公司在首次公开募股时已经是亚马逊的171倍。</blockquote></p><p> However, the recent IPO bull run of 2020 and early 2021 has helped to embolden more companies to go public sooner rather than later.</p><p><blockquote>然而，最近2020年和2021年初的IPO牛市有助于鼓励更多公司尽早上市。</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0d3064cd4bbfd2705d2216f5c236c6fa\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"503\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>(Image:Financial Times)</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>（图片来源：金融时报）</span></p></blockquote></p><p> Thanks to the unprecedented pace in which companies are going public, many tech firms are looking at the revenues they’ve generated in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic and are aiming to use them to drive investor interest in their listing.</p><p><blockquote>由于公司上市的速度前所未有，许多科技公司正在关注他们在Covid-19大流行后产生的收入，并旨在利用这些收入来提高投资者对其上市的兴趣。</blockquote></p><p> So far in 2021, the number of listings has eclipsed even that of the dotcom boom at the turn of the century – setting the pace for a record breaking year for IPOs.</p><p><blockquote>2021年迄今为止，上市数量甚至超过了世纪之交的互联网繁荣时期，为IPO破纪录的一年奠定了基础。</blockquote></p><p> What does this mean for companies like Confluent and retail investors alike? Well, it points to newfound levels of optimism in companies aiming to go public sooner rather than later, which means that retail investors have the opportunity to invest in more listings that may have more growth potential than usual.</p><p><blockquote>这对Confluence这样的公司和散户投资者意味着什么？嗯，这表明打算尽早上市的公司出现了新的乐观情绪，这意味着散户投资者有机会投资更多可能比平时更具增长潜力的上市公司。</blockquote></p><p> Maxim Manturov, head of investment research at Freedom Finance Europe explains that the playing field between retail and institutional investors is far from level. “It is the latter who usually get the far greater share of an IPO: historically, institutional investors get around 90% of all shares, with only around 10% left for retail trades,” explained Manturov.</p><p><blockquote>Freedom Finance Europe投资研究主管马克西姆·曼图罗夫(Maxim Manturov)解释说，散户和机构投资者之间的竞争环境远非公平。曼图罗夫解释说：“后者通常在IPO中获得更大的份额：从历史上看，机构投资者获得约90%的股份，只有约10%用于零售交易。”</blockquote></p><p> “This is where allocation comes from: when the demand is high, the broker will have to reduce order amounts so as to at least partially fill all of them. The allocation ratio, meanwhile, depends on the investor trading activity and volume.”</p><p><blockquote>“这就是配置的来源：当需求高时，经纪商将不得不减少订单金额，以便至少部分填补所有订单。同时，配置比例取决于投资者的交易活动和交易量。”</blockquote></p><p> Confluent Listing Encapsulates Tech IPO Hype</p><p><blockquote>融合上市概括了科技IPO炒作</blockquote></p><p> Online brokerages have moved swiftly in accommodating theConfluent IPOand listing it for retail investors to buy.</p><p><blockquote>在线券商迅速采取行动，适应合并IPO并将其上市供散户投资者购买。</blockquote></p><p></p><p> The Confluent listing shows that one year on from the beginning of the IPO boom, listings are still generating excitement and investor interest at a quickening rate. Although Confluent will be conscious of the hype surrounding tech IPOs, the company will be looking to turn a promising 2020 into a fiscally secure future.

Unflattering details spilled out, including a report that Larson had allegedly harassed and bullied some employees.</p><p><blockquote>这对夫妇上个月的离婚声明打破了策划的形象。令人不快的细节被泄露，包括一份关于拉森涉嫌骚扰和欺负一些员工的报告。</blockquote></p><p> On Monday, a spokesman said that Bill and Melinda Gates Investments -- the 100-person strong team led by Larson that’s overseen their personal fortune and the endowment of their namesake foundation -- changed its name to Cascade Asset Management Co. The moniker closely resembles Cascade Investment, which historically has been the part of BMGI that manages the Gateses’ personal wealth.</p><p><blockquote>周一，一位发言人表示，比尔和梅琳达·盖茨投资公司（Bill and Melinda Gates Investments）更名为Cascade Asset Management Co。这个绰号与Cascade Investment非常相似，Cascade Investment历来是BMGI管理盖茨夫妇个人财富的一部分。</blockquote></p><p> The rebranding is the latest step in the unfolding story of what will happen to one of the world’s largest fortunes when Gates and French Gates finalize their divorce. Larson was hired by the Microsoft Corp. billionaire in the mid-1990s to oversee that wealth.</p><p><blockquote>此次品牌重塑是正在展开的故事的最新一步，当盖茨和法国人盖茨最终离婚时，世界上最大的财富之一将会发生什么。20世纪90年代中期，这位微软亿万富翁聘请拉森来监管这笔财富。</blockquote></p><p> The sprawling portfolio under his purview, estimated by Bloomberg News to be valued at about $170 billion, has over the years generated returns that beat the broader stock market by about a percentage point, according to financial filings and people familiar with the matter.</p><p><blockquote>据财务文件和知情人士透露，据彭博新闻社估计，他管理的庞大投资组合价值约1700亿美元，多年来产生的回报比大盘高出约一个百分点。</blockquote></p><p> The record illustrates the priorities of the uppermost strata of the ultrarich, where investment horizons span generations and riskier bets often don’t outweigh the value of a good reputation. Part of Larson’s job was to help Bill Gates uphold his image as a wonky billionaire devoted to fixing the world’s challenges, rather than make bold moves that could draw scrutiny.</p><p><blockquote>这一记录说明了超级富豪最上层的优先事项，他们的投资期限跨越几代人，风险较高的赌注往往不会超过良好声誉的价值。拉森的部分工作是帮助比尔·盖茨维护他作为致力于解决世界挑战的不可靠亿万富翁的形象，而不是做出可能引起审查的大胆举动。</blockquote></p><p> “The price some of these guys are willing to pay to stay out of the news is high,” said Tayyab Mohamed, co-founder of family office recruiting firm Agreus Group.</p><p><blockquote>家族办公室招聘公司Agreus Group的联合创始人塔亚布·穆罕默德(Tayyab Mohamed)表示：“其中一些人愿意为远离新闻而付出的代价很高。”</blockquote></p><p> The divorce and recent revelations about Cascade’s workplace culture, reported by the New York Times, raise questions about what’s next for Larson and the fortune he oversees. A spokesman for Cascade said BMGI is changing its name “to allow for the evolving needs of the Gates family and their philanthropic work” and that the group’s investment strategy and organizational structure won’t change.</p><p><blockquote>《纽约时报》报道了这起离婚事件以及最近有关卡斯卡德工作场所文化的爆料，引发了人们对拉森和他监管的财富的下一步发展的质疑。Cascade的一位发言人表示，BMGI正在更名，“以满足盖茨家族及其慈善工作不断变化的需求”，并且该集团的投资战略和组织结构不会改变。</blockquote></p><p> French Gates, whose name was added to BMGI in 2014, has been in focus after Cascade transferred equity stakes worth more than $3 billion to her, leading some in the industry to speculate she’s in the process of claiming an even larger control of her share of the riches. Their combined wealth stands at more than $140 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.</p><p><blockquote>弗伦奇·盖茨(French Gates)的名字于2014年加入BMGI，在Cascade将价值超过30亿美元的股权转让给她后，她一直成为人们关注的焦点，导致一些业内人士猜测她正在要求对自己的股份拥有更大的控制权。财富。根据彭博亿万富翁指数，他们的总财富超过1400亿美元。</blockquote></p><p> Larson, 61, has admitted that he sometimes used harsh language, as alleged in the Times reporting, but denied that he mistreated staff.

Unflattering details spilled out, including a report that Larson had allegedly harassed and bullied some employees.</p><p><blockquote>这对夫妇上个月的离婚声明打破了策划的形象。令人不快的细节被泄露，包括一份关于拉森涉嫌骚扰和欺负一些员工的报告。</blockquote></p><p> On Monday, a spokesman said that Bill and Melinda Gates Investments -- the 100-person strong team led by Larson that’s overseen their personal fortune and the endowment of their namesake foundation -- changed its name to Cascade Asset Management Co. The moniker closely resembles Cascade Investment, which historically has been the part of BMGI that manages the Gateses’ personal wealth.</p><p><blockquote>周一，一位发言人表示，比尔和梅琳达·盖茨投资公司（Bill and Melinda Gates Investments）更名为Cascade Asset Management Co。这个绰号与Cascade Investment非常相似，Cascade Investment历来是BMGI管理盖茨夫妇个人财富的一部分。</blockquote></p><p> The rebranding is the latest step in the unfolding story of what will happen to one of the world’s largest fortunes when Gates and French Gates finalize their divorce. Larson was hired by the Microsoft Corp. billionaire in the mid-1990s to oversee that wealth.</p><p><blockquote>此次品牌重塑是正在展开的故事的最新一步，当盖茨和法国人盖茨最终离婚时，世界上最大的财富之一将会发生什么。20世纪90年代中期，这位微软亿万富翁聘请拉森来监管这笔财富。</blockquote></p><p> The sprawling portfolio under his purview, estimated by Bloomberg News to be valued at about $170 billion, has over the years generated returns that beat the broader stock market by about a percentage point, according to financial filings and people familiar with the matter.</p><p><blockquote>据财务文件和知情人士透露，据彭博新闻社估计，他管理的庞大投资组合价值约1700亿美元，多年来产生的回报比大盘高出约一个百分点。</blockquote></p><p> The record illustrates the priorities of the uppermost strata of the ultrarich, where investment horizons span generations and riskier bets often don’t outweigh the value of a good reputation. Part of Larson’s job was to help Bill Gates uphold his image as a wonky billionaire devoted to fixing the world’s challenges, rather than make bold moves that could draw scrutiny.</p><p><blockquote>这一记录说明了超级富豪最上层的优先事项，他们的投资期限跨越几代人，风险较高的赌注往往不会超过良好声誉的价值。拉森的部分工作是帮助比尔·盖茨维护他作为致力于解决世界挑战的不可靠亿万富翁的形象，而不是做出可能引起审查的大胆举动。</blockquote></p><p> “The price some of these guys are willing to pay to stay out of the news is high,” said Tayyab Mohamed, co-founder of family office recruiting firm Agreus Group.</p><p><blockquote>家族办公室招聘公司Agreus Group的联合创始人塔亚布·穆罕默德(Tayyab Mohamed)表示：“其中一些人愿意为远离新闻而付出的代价很高。”</blockquote></p><p> The divorce and recent revelations about Cascade’s workplace culture, reported by the New York Times, raise questions about what’s next for Larson and the fortune he oversees. A spokesman for Cascade said BMGI is changing its name “to allow for the evolving needs of the Gates family and their philanthropic work” and that the group’s investment strategy and organizational structure won’t change.</p><p><blockquote>《纽约时报》报道了这起离婚事件以及最近有关卡斯卡德工作场所文化的爆料，引发了人们对拉森和他监管的财富的下一步发展的质疑。Cascade的一位发言人表示，BMGI正在更名，“以满足盖茨家族及其慈善工作不断变化的需求”，并且该集团的投资战略和组织结构不会改变。</blockquote></p><p> French Gates, whose name was added to BMGI in 2014, has been in focus after Cascade transferred equity stakes worth more than $3 billion to her, leading some in the industry to speculate she’s in the process of claiming an even larger control of her share of the riches. Their combined wealth stands at more than $140 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.</p><p><blockquote>弗伦奇·盖茨(French Gates)的名字于2014年加入BMGI，在Cascade将价值超过30亿美元的股权转让给她后，她一直成为人们关注的焦点，导致一些业内人士猜测她正在要求对自己的股份拥有更大的控制权。财富。根据彭博亿万富翁指数，他们的总财富超过1400亿美元。</blockquote></p><p> Larson, 61, has admitted that he sometimes used harsh language, as alleged in the Times reporting, but denied that he mistreated staff. A Cascade representative has said the matters were examined and didn’t warrant his dismissal.

Unflattering details spilled out, including a report that Larson had allegedly harassed and bullied some employees.\nOn Monday, a spokesman said that Bill and Melinda Gates Investments -- the 100-person strong team led by Larson that’s overseen their personal fortune and the endowment of their namesake foundation -- changed its name to Cascade Asset Management Co. The moniker closely resembles Cascade Investment, which historically has been the part of BMGI that manages the Gateses’ personal wealth.\nThe rebranding is the latest step in the unfolding story of what will happen to one of the world’s largest fortunes when Gates and French Gates finalize their divorce. Larson was hired by the Microsoft Corp. billionaire in the mid-1990s to oversee that wealth.\nThe sprawling portfolio under his purview, estimated by Bloomberg News to be valued at about $170 billion, has over the years generated returns that beat the broader stock market by about a percentage point, according to financial filings and people familiar with the matter.\nThe record illustrates the priorities of the uppermost strata of the ultrarich, where investment horizons span generations and riskier bets often don’t outweigh the value of a good reputation. Part of Larson’s job was to help Bill Gates uphold his image as a wonky billionaire devoted to fixing the world’s challenges, rather than make bold moves that could draw scrutiny.\n“The price some of these guys are willing to pay to stay out of the news is high,” said Tayyab Mohamed, co-founder of family office recruiting firm Agreus Group.\nThe divorce and recent revelations about Cascade’s workplace culture, reported by the New York Times, raise questions about what’s next for Larson and the fortune he oversees. A spokesman for Cascade said BMGI is changing its name “to allow for the evolving needs of the Gates family and their philanthropic work” and that the group’s investment strategy and organizational structure won’t change.\nFrench Gates, whose name was added to BMGI in 2014, has been in focus after Cascade transferred equity stakes worth more than $3 billion to her, leading some in the industry to speculate she’s in the process of claiming an even larger control of her share of the riches. Their combined wealth stands at more than $140 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.\nLarson, 61, has admitted that he sometimes used harsh language, as alleged in the Times reporting, but denied that he mistreated staff. A Cascade representative has said the matters were examined and didn’t warrant his dismissal. A representative for Gates didn’t respond to a request for comment.\nMohamed said it’s of little surprise that Larson has remained in his role after the allegations, given his decades-long tenure with Gates and the loyalty it has likely engendered.\n“Had Larson not had the professional impact he had, it would be a simple yes, he should resign,” said Mohamed, whose company helps family offices fill leadership positions.\nLarson, often clad in a pink shirt, shies from the limelight and rarely attends conferences for family office professionals. A former bond-fund manager, he won Gates’s loyalty by delivering consistent returns and instilling in employees the notion that their primary focus was to protect their benefactor’s good name, according to people familiar with Cascade, who asked not to be named speaking about the company’s inner workings.\nThe manager had broad leeway from Gates on investment decisions, they both have said. French Gates rarely attended meetings in Cascade’s early days aside from the annual in-person gathering, and when she did she tended to be a passive participant, according to one of the people familiar with the firm.\nShe was unaware of most of the allegations involving Larson “given her lack of ownership of and control over BMGI,” her spokeswoman, Courtney Wade, said in a statement.\nIt’s unclear where French Gates is keeping her money, including the more than $3 billion that has been transferred from Cascade, and whether she’s now setting up a family office of her own. She also runs Pivotal Ventures, an investment and incubation firm founded in 2015 that focuses on gender and racial equality and employs roughly 90 people.\nConservative Mandate\nBeing the investment chief for one of the world’s biggest family fortunes might seem like an enviable job for an investor mulling creative bets. There’s hardly a worry about fundraising, client withdrawals or onerous regulations. But it often instead involves simply keeping wealth steady.\nAside from detracting attention from the Gateses, Larson’s main mandate has been to invest conservatively -- try to maximize returns but don’t lose money, one of the people said.\nThat reflects the typical investment approaches of big family offices and foundations, said Raphael Amit, professor of management at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School.\n“The No. 1 objective is preservation of capital,” he said, adding that’s why family office portfolios are so diverse, including not just public equities, but also fixed income, commodities and assets such as art.\nIn a Fortune story from two decades ago, Larson explained that much of his strategy boiled down to countering the swings of Microsoft stock. At the time, the portfolios both for the foundation and for the Gateses’ personal money mostly consisted of bonds, with some bets on private equity, commodities, Florida real estate and British hotels.\nThat has shifted. Today Cascade holds about $57 billion in public equities, ranging from farm-equipment maker Deere & Co. to track operator Canadian National Railway Co. to waste management firm Republic Services Inc. -- companies rooted in the physical world of making, moving and selling goods, and cleaning things up.\nCascade also owns around 270,000 acres of land, enough to make it the single biggest owner of U.S. farmland, according to the Land Report. The firm also has been involved in currency and commodities trading, venture capital and the development of a property complex in downtown Tampa.\nThe foundation’s most recent tax returns also shows $804 million of corporate bonds and $5.8 billion of other investments like mortgage-backed securities, bank loans and sovereign debt.\nStable Returns\nCascade doesn’t disclose its overall investment performance, but financial reports from the foundation offer clues. The foundation’s assets under management have returned an average of about 8.6% per year since 2001, according to a person familiar with the matter, beating the S&P 500 Index’s average annual 7.5% gain over the past two decades. That track record is broadly representative of Cascade’s overall returns, another person said.\nCascade’s assets have periodically been boosted by proceeds from the sales of Gates’s Microsoft stock. And Warren Buffett, the founder of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., has periodically given shares in the conglomerate worth billions of dollars to the foundation. Buffett is one of the Gates Foundation’s three board members alongside Gates and French Gates, but has no involvement in investment decisions of the endowment, according to the foundation.\nOne remarkable feature of the portfolio is how little it changes. Of the 15 stocks listed in the foundation trust’s most recent filing, which discloses positions traded on U.S. exchanges, 10 of them were in the portfolio a decade ago.\nThe holdings haven’t uniformly jived with the Gateses’ charitable endeavors or priorities, which include global health and, more recently, climate change.\nCascade held investments in oil and gas companies until 2019, Gates said in his recent book about climate change. It was long the biggest owner of Signature Aviation Plc, the world’s largest operator of private-jet bases, before joining a consortium that took the company private this year. And it’s the biggest shareholder of Republic Services Inc., which for years has feuded with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters union, whose members are employees.\nGates has occasionally made it clear that Larson has broad discretion to make investment decisions. In a March “Ask me anything” event on Reddit, a user asked about his purchases of farmland. His response: “My investment group chose to do this.”\nTwo decades ago, Larson put it more bluntly.\n“When people find out that Cascade has made an investment in something, that’s not Bill Gates,” he said in the Fortune interview. “I wish everyone understood that.”","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"MSFT":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":736,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":120500468,"gmtCreate":1624326463354,"gmtModify":1634007758134,"author":{"id":"3583060403880224","authorId":"3583060403880224","name":"nihaoo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3583060403880224","idStr":"3583060403880224"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"K","listText":"K","text":"K","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/120500468","repostId":"1174609211","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1174609211","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1624325385,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1174609211?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-22 09:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Gates Split Casts Harsh Glare on $170 Billion Money Manager<blockquote>盖茨的分拆给1700亿美元的基金经理带来了严厉的目光</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1174609211","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"(Bloomberg) -- For almost three decades, Michael Larson has quietly shuffled around one of the world","content":"<p>(Bloomberg) -- For almost three decades, Michael Larson has quietly shuffled around one of the world’s biggest fortunes with a chief priority: Keep his fabulously wealthy bosses out of the headlines.</p><p><blockquote>（彭博社）——近三十年来，迈克尔·拉森一直在悄悄地洗牌世界上最大的财富之一，他的首要任务是：让他极其富有的老板远离头条新闻。</blockquote></p><p> The conservative bets, the nondescript office, the investment firm’s generic-sounding name; they were all carefully designed to shield Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates from criticism and produce steady, if seemingly unimpressive, returns.</p><p><blockquote>保守的赌注、不起眼的办公室、投资公司听起来很普通的名字；它们都是精心设计的，以保护比尔·盖茨和梅林达·弗伦奇·盖茨免受批评，并产生稳定的回报，尽管看起来不起眼。</blockquote></p><p> The couple’s divorce announcement last month cracked the curated image.

Unflattering details spilled out, including a report that Larson had allegedly harassed and bullied some employees.</p><p><blockquote>这对夫妇上个月的离婚声明打破了策划的形象。令人不快的细节被泄露，包括一份关于拉森涉嫌骚扰和欺负一些员工的报告。</blockquote></p><p> On Monday, a spokesman said that Bill and Melinda Gates Investments -- the 100-person strong team led by Larson that’s overseen their personal fortune and the endowment of their namesake foundation -- changed its name to Cascade Asset Management Co. The moniker closely resembles Cascade Investment, which historically has been the part of BMGI that manages the Gateses’ personal wealth.</p><p><blockquote>周一，一位发言人表示，比尔和梅琳达·盖茨投资公司（Bill and Melinda Gates Investments）更名为Cascade Asset Management Co。这个绰号与Cascade Investment非常相似，Cascade Investment历来是BMGI管理盖茨夫妇个人财富的一部分。</blockquote></p><p> The rebranding is the latest step in the unfolding story of what will happen to one of the world’s largest fortunes when Gates and French Gates finalize their divorce. Larson was hired by the Microsoft Corp. billionaire in the mid-1990s to oversee that wealth.</p><p><blockquote>此次品牌重塑是正在展开的故事的最新一步，当盖茨和法国人盖茨最终离婚时，世界上最大的财富之一将会发生什么。20世纪90年代中期，这位微软亿万富翁聘请拉森来监管这笔财富。</blockquote></p><p> The sprawling portfolio under his purview, estimated by Bloomberg News to be valued at about $170 billion, has over the years generated returns that beat the broader stock market by about a percentage point, according to financial filings and people familiar with the matter.</p><p><blockquote>据财务文件和知情人士透露，据彭博新闻社估计，他管理的庞大投资组合价值约1700亿美元，多年来产生的回报比大盘高出约一个百分点。</blockquote></p><p> The record illustrates the priorities of the uppermost strata of the ultrarich, where investment horizons span generations and riskier bets often don’t outweigh the value of a good reputation. Part of Larson’s job was to help Bill Gates uphold his image as a wonky billionaire devoted to fixing the world’s challenges, rather than make bold moves that could draw scrutiny.</p><p><blockquote>这一记录说明了超级富豪最上层的优先事项，他们的投资期限跨越几代人，风险较高的赌注往往不会超过良好声誉的价值。拉森的部分工作是帮助比尔·盖茨维护他作为致力于解决世界挑战的不可靠亿万富翁的形象，而不是做出可能引起审查的大胆举动。</blockquote></p><p> “The price some of these guys are willing to pay to stay out of the news is high,” said Tayyab Mohamed, co-founder of family office recruiting firm Agreus Group.</p><p><blockquote>家族办公室招聘公司Agreus Group的联合创始人塔亚布·穆罕默德(Tayyab Mohamed)表示：“其中一些人愿意为远离新闻而付出的代价很高。”</blockquote></p><p> The divorce and recent revelations about Cascade’s workplace culture, reported by the New York Times, raise questions about what’s next for Larson and the fortune he oversees. A spokesman for Cascade said BMGI is changing its name “to allow for the evolving needs of the Gates family and their philanthropic work” and that the group’s investment strategy and organizational structure won’t change.</p><p><blockquote>《纽约时报》报道了这起离婚事件以及最近有关卡斯卡德工作场所文化的爆料，引发了人们对拉森和他监管的财富的下一步发展的质疑。Cascade的一位发言人表示，BMGI正在更名，“以满足盖茨家族及其慈善工作不断变化的需求”，并且该集团的投资战略和组织结构不会改变。</blockquote></p><p> French Gates, whose name was added to BMGI in 2014, has been in focus after Cascade transferred equity stakes worth more than $3 billion to her, leading some in the industry to speculate she’s in the process of claiming an even larger control of her share of the riches. Their combined wealth stands at more than $140 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.</p><p><blockquote>弗伦奇·盖茨(French Gates)的名字于2014年加入BMGI，在Cascade将价值超过30亿美元的股权转让给她后，她一直成为人们关注的焦点，导致一些业内人士猜测她正在要求对自己的股份拥有更大的控制权。财富。根据彭博亿万富翁指数，他们的总财富超过1400亿美元。</blockquote></p><p> Larson, 61, has admitted that he sometimes used harsh language, as alleged in the Times reporting, but denied that he mistreated staff.

A representative for Gates didn’t respond to a request for comment.</p><p><blockquote>61岁的拉森承认，正如《泰晤士报》报道中所指控的那样，他有时会使用严厉的语言，但否认他虐待员工。Cascade的一名代表表示，这些事情已经过审查，没有理由解雇他。盖茨的代表没有回应置评请求。</blockquote></p><p> Mohamed said it’s of little surprise that Larson has remained in his role after the allegations, given his decades-long tenure with Gates and the loyalty it has likely engendered.</p><p><blockquote>穆罕默德表示，考虑到拉森在盖茨长达数十年的任期以及由此可能产生的忠诚，拉森在指控后继续留任并不奇怪。</blockquote></p><p> “Had Larson not had the professional impact he had, it would be a simple yes, he should resign,” said Mohamed, whose company helps family offices fill leadership positions.</p><p><blockquote>穆罕默德说：“如果拉森没有像他那样的职业影响力，那就是简单的“是的，他应该辞职”，他的公司帮助家族理财室填补领导职位。</blockquote></p><p> Larson, often clad in a pink shirt, shies from the limelight and rarely attends conferences for family office professionals. A former bond-fund manager, he won Gates’s loyalty by delivering consistent returns and instilling in employees the notion that their primary focus was to protect their benefactor’s good name, according to people familiar with Cascade, who asked not to be named speaking about the company’s inner workings.</p><p><blockquote>拉森经常穿着粉色衬衫，回避聚光灯，很少参加家族理财室专业人士的会议。据熟悉Cascade的人士透露，作为一名前债券基金经理，他通过提供稳定的回报并向员工灌输他们的主要关注点是保护捐助者的好名声的观念，赢得了盖茨的忠诚。在谈到公司的内部运作时，这些人士要求匿名。</blockquote></p><p> The manager had broad leeway from Gates on investment decisions, they both have said. French Gates rarely attended meetings in Cascade’s early days aside from the annual in-person gathering, and when she did she tended to be a passive participant, according to one of the people familiar with the firm.</p><p><blockquote>他们都表示，这位经理在投资决策上与盖茨有很大的回旋余地。据一位熟悉该公司的人士透露，在Cascade早期，除了年度面对面聚会外，弗伦奇·盖茨很少参加会议，即使参加，她也往往是被动的参与者。</blockquote></p><p> She was unaware of most of the allegations involving Larson “given her lack of ownership of and control over BMGI,” her spokeswoman, Courtney Wade, said in a statement.</p><p><blockquote>她的发言人考特尼·韦德(Courtney Wade)在一份声明中表示，“鉴于拉森缺乏对BMGI的所有权和控制权”，她并不知道涉及拉森的大部分指控。</blockquote></p><p> It’s unclear where French Gates is keeping her money, including the more than $3 billion that has been transferred from Cascade, and whether she’s now setting up a family office of her own. She also runs Pivotal Ventures, an investment and incubation firm founded in 2015 that focuses on gender and racial equality and employs roughly 90 people.</p><p><blockquote>目前尚不清楚French Gates将她的钱放在哪里，包括从Cascade转移的超过30亿美元，也不清楚她现在是否正在建立自己的家族办公室。她还经营着Pivotal Ventures，这是一家投资和孵化公司，成立于2015年，专注于性别和种族平等，拥有约90名员工。</blockquote></p><p> Conservative Mandate</p><p><blockquote>保守授权</blockquote></p><p></p><p> Being the investment chief for one of the world’s biggest family fortunes might seem like an enviable job for an investor mulling creative bets. There’s hardly a worry about fundraising, client withdrawals or onerous regulations. But it often instead involves simply keeping wealth steady.</p><p><blockquote>对于考虑创造性赌注的投资者来说，成为世界上最大家族财富之一的投资主管似乎是一份令人羡慕的工作。几乎不用担心筹款、客户提款或繁琐的监管。但它往往只是简单地保持财富稳定。</blockquote></p><p> Aside from detracting attention from the Gateses, Larson’s main mandate has been to invest conservatively -- try to maximize returns but don’t lose money, one of the people said.</p><p><blockquote>其中一位知情人士表示，除了转移人们对盖茨夫妇的注意力外，拉森的主要任务是保守投资——努力实现回报最大化，但不要亏损。</blockquote></p><p> That reflects the typical investment approaches of big family offices and foundations, said Raphael Amit, professor of management at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School.</p><p><blockquote>宾夕法尼亚大学沃顿商学院管理学教授拉斐尔·阿米特表示，这反映了大型家族办公室和基金会的典型投资方式。</blockquote></p><p> “The No. 1 objective is preservation of capital,” he said, adding that’s why family office portfolios are so diverse, including not just public equities, but also fixed income, commodities and assets such as art.</p><p><blockquote>“首要目标是保本，”他说，并补充说这就是家族办公室投资组合如此多样化的原因，不仅包括公共股票，还包括固定收益、大宗商品和艺术品等资产。</blockquote></p><p> In a Fortune story from two decades ago, Larson explained that much of his strategy boiled down to countering the swings of Microsoft stock. At the time, the portfolios both for the foundation and for the Gateses’ personal money mostly consisted of bonds, with some bets on private equity, commodities, Florida real estate and British hotels.</p><p><blockquote>在二十年前的《财富》杂志的一篇报道中，拉尔森解释说，他的大部分策略都归结为对抗微软股票的波动。当时，基金会和盖茨夫妇个人资金的投资组合主要由债券组成，部分押注于私募股权、大宗商品、佛罗里达州房地产和英国酒店。</blockquote></p><p> That has shifted. Today Cascade holds about $57 billion in public equities, ranging from farm-equipment maker Deere &amp; Co. to track operator Canadian National Railway Co. to waste management firm Republic Services Inc. -- companies rooted in the physical world of making, moving and selling goods, and cleaning things up.</p><p><blockquote>这种情况已经改变了。如今，Cascade持有约570亿美元的公共股票，从农业设备制造商Deere公司到轨道运营商加拿大国家铁路公司，再到废物管理公司Republic Services Inc.——这些公司植根于制造、运输和销售商品和清理物品的物理世界。</blockquote></p><p> Cascade also owns around 270,000 acres of land, enough to make it the single biggest owner of U.S. farmland, according to the Land Report. The firm also has been involved in currency and commodities trading, venture capital and the development of a property complex in downtown Tampa.</p><p><blockquote>根据土地报告，Cascade还拥有约270,000英亩的土地，足以使其成为美国最大的农田所有者。该公司还参与了货币和大宗商品交易、风险投资以及坦帕市中心房地产综合体的开发。</blockquote></p><p> The foundation’s most recent tax returns also shows $804 million of corporate bonds and $5.8 billion of other investments like mortgage-backed securities, bank loans and sovereign debt.</p><p><blockquote>该基金会最近的纳税申报表还显示，8.04亿美元的公司债券和58亿美元的其他投资，如抵押贷款支持证券、银行贷款和主权债务。</blockquote></p><p> Stable Returns</p><p><blockquote>稳定的回报</blockquote></p><p> Cascade doesn’t disclose its overall investment performance, but financial reports from the foundation offer clues. The foundation’s assets under management have returned an average of about 8.6% per year since 2001, according to a person familiar with the matter, beating the S&amp;P 500 Index’s average annual 7.5% gain over the past two decades. That track record is broadly representative of Cascade’s overall returns, another person said.</p><p><blockquote>Cascade没有透露其整体投资业绩，但基金会的财务报告提供了线索。据一位知情人士透露，自2001年以来，该基金会管理的资产平均每年回报率约为8.6%，超过了标普500指数过去二十年7.5%的年均涨幅。另一位人士表示，这一业绩记录广泛代表了Cascade的整体回报。</blockquote></p><p> Cascade’s assets have periodically been boosted by proceeds from the sales of Gates’s Microsoft stock.

Although Confluent will be conscious of the hype surrounding tech IPOs, the company will be looking to turn a promising 2020 into a fiscally secure future. If some of that growth can lead to healthy returns for investors along the way, it will be a good sign that the tech IPO boom encapsulates far more than a simple stock market hype machine.</p><p><blockquote>合流上市表明，IPO热潮开始一年后，上市仍在以加速的速度引起人们的兴奋和投资者的兴趣。尽管Confluence将意识到围绕科技IPO的炒作，但该公司将寻求将充满希望的2020年转变为财政安全的未来。如果其中一些增长能够为投资者带来健康的回报，这将是一个好迹象，表明科技股IPO热潮所包含的不仅仅是简单的股市炒作机器。</blockquote></p><p></p>","source":"lsy1612507957220","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Confluent Aims to Become a Value Investment Within a Hype-Driven Tech IPO Market<blockquote>Confluent旨在成为炒作驱动的科技IPO市场中的价值投资</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nConfluent Aims to Become a Value Investment Within a Hype-Driven Tech IPO Market<blockquote>Confluent旨在成为炒作驱动的科技IPO市场中的价值投资</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n<p class=\"head\">\n<strong class=\"h-name small\">FXEmpire</strong><span class=\"h-time small\">2021-06-23 10:18</span>\n</p>\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\n<p>With sights set on a valuation of around$8.3 billionand snowballing revenue thanks to surges in demand for live streaming software in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, Confluent is hoping to secure its future in a successful tech IPO.

However, in a market that appears to be largely swept up in hype, can this IPO become a viable investment over the long term?\nAs part of itsIPO, Confluent intends to offer 23 million shares at a price range of between $29 and $33 per share, according to its regulatory filing. The company hopes to raise up to $759 million in its initial public offering.\nIn the build-up to the IPO, Confluent claimed in its filing that the company’s revenue climbed by around 58% in 2020, and a further 51% over the first quarter of 2021 alone to $77 million. Although the company was valued at $4.5 billion in April last year, the company’s optimistic that it can achieve almost double that sum as it aims to hit an $8.3 billion valuation.\nOver-Promising and Under-Delivering Tech IPOs?\nAlthough Confluent’s arrival on the Nasdaq represents an excellent opportunity for the company to generate some revenue to secure its future growth, will investors also identify Confluent’s IPO as a key opportunity to secure long-term windfall?\n(Image:VisualCapitalist)\nAs the data above shows, tech IPOs are by far the leading sector in terms of size, accounting for $21.9 billion in proceeds in 2019 when the data was collected, however, it also averaged out at a post-IPO return of -4.6%.\nDoes this data mean that tech IPOs are guilty of over-promising and under-delivering simultaneously? Brownstone Research suggests that this gulf between proceeds and investor ROI is down to companies waiting later before they choose to go public.\nFor instance, companies like Amazon opted to go public before they experienced significant growth. However, private companies in the tech sector today are generally choosing to remain private for longer. This means that when they eventually launch an initial public offering, these tech companies are much larger.\nAs most tech companies have already undergone their early stages of growth prior to going public, retail investors are liable to be left topick up the scrapsonce they enter the public markets.\nFor instance, whenUberlaunched an IPO in 2019, its enterprise value of around $75 billion meant that the company was already 171 times larger than Amazon when it launched its initial public offering.\nHowever, the recent IPO bull run of 2020 and early 2021 has helped to embolden more companies to go public sooner rather than later.\n(Image:Financial Times)\nThanks to the unprecedented pace in which companies are going public, many tech firms are looking at the revenues they’ve generated in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic and are aiming to use them to drive investor interest in their listing.\nSo far in 2021, the number of listings has eclipsed even that of the dotcom boom at the turn of the century – setting the pace for a record breaking year for IPOs.\nWhat does this mean for companies like Confluent and retail investors alike?

Unflattering details spilled out, including a report that Larson had allegedly harassed and bullied some employees.</p><p><blockquote>这对夫妇上个月的离婚声明打破了策划的形象。令人不快的细节被泄露，包括一份关于拉森涉嫌骚扰和欺负一些员工的报告。</blockquote></p><p> On Monday, a spokesman said that Bill and Melinda Gates Investments -- the 100-person strong team led by Larson that’s overseen their personal fortune and the endowment of their namesake foundation -- changed its name to Cascade Asset Management Co. The moniker closely resembles Cascade Investment, which historically has been the part of BMGI that manages the Gateses’ personal wealth.</p><p><blockquote>周一，一位发言人表示，比尔和梅琳达·盖茨投资公司（Bill and Melinda Gates Investments）更名为Cascade Asset Management Co。这个绰号与Cascade Investment非常相似，Cascade Investment历来是BMGI管理盖茨夫妇个人财富的一部分。</blockquote></p><p> The rebranding is the latest step in the unfolding story of what will happen to one of the world’s largest fortunes when Gates and French Gates finalize their divorce. Larson was hired by the Microsoft Corp. billionaire in the mid-1990s to oversee that wealth.</p><p><blockquote>此次品牌重塑是正在展开的故事的最新一步，当盖茨和法国人盖茨最终离婚时，世界上最大的财富之一将会发生什么。20世纪90年代中期，这位微软亿万富翁聘请拉森来监管这笔财富。</blockquote></p><p> The sprawling portfolio under his purview, estimated by Bloomberg News to be valued at about $170 billion, has over the years generated returns that beat the broader stock market by about a percentage point, according to financial filings and people familiar with the matter.</p><p><blockquote>据财务文件和知情人士透露，据彭博新闻社估计，他管理的庞大投资组合价值约1700亿美元，多年来产生的回报比大盘高出约一个百分点。</blockquote></p><p> The record illustrates the priorities of the uppermost strata of the ultrarich, where investment horizons span generations and riskier bets often don’t outweigh the value of a good reputation. Part of Larson’s job was to help Bill Gates uphold his image as a wonky billionaire devoted to fixing the world’s challenges, rather than make bold moves that could draw scrutiny.</p><p><blockquote>这一记录说明了超级富豪最上层的优先事项，他们的投资期限跨越几代人，风险较高的赌注往往不会超过良好声誉的价值。拉森的部分工作是帮助比尔·盖茨维护他作为致力于解决世界挑战的不可靠亿万富翁的形象，而不是做出可能引起审查的大胆举动。</blockquote></p><p> “The price some of these guys are willing to pay to stay out of the news is high,” said Tayyab Mohamed, co-founder of family office recruiting firm Agreus Group.</p><p><blockquote>家族办公室招聘公司Agreus Group的联合创始人塔亚布·穆罕默德(Tayyab Mohamed)表示：“其中一些人愿意为远离新闻而付出的代价很高。”</blockquote></p><p> The divorce and recent revelations about Cascade’s workplace culture, reported by the New York Times, raise questions about what’s next for Larson and the fortune he oversees. A spokesman for Cascade said BMGI is changing its name “to allow for the evolving needs of the Gates family and their philanthropic work” and that the group’s investment strategy and organizational structure won’t change.</p><p><blockquote>《纽约时报》报道了这起离婚事件以及最近有关卡斯卡德工作场所文化的爆料，引发了人们对拉森和他监管的财富的下一步发展的质疑。Cascade的一位发言人表示，BMGI正在更名，“以满足盖茨家族及其慈善工作不断变化的需求”，并且该集团的投资战略和组织结构不会改变。</blockquote></p><p> French Gates, whose name was added to BMGI in 2014, has been in focus after Cascade transferred equity stakes worth more than $3 billion to her, leading some in the industry to speculate she’s in the process of claiming an even larger control of her share of the riches. Their combined wealth stands at more than $140 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.</p><p><blockquote>弗伦奇·盖茨(French Gates)的名字于2014年加入BMGI，在Cascade将价值超过30亿美元的股权转让给她后，她一直成为人们关注的焦点，导致一些业内人士猜测她正在要求对自己的股份拥有更大的控制权。财富。根据彭博亿万富翁指数，他们的总财富超过1400亿美元。</blockquote></p><p> Larson, 61, has admitted that he sometimes used harsh language, as alleged in the Times reporting, but denied that he mistreated staff. A Cascade representative has said the matters were examined and didn’t warrant his dismissal. A representative for Gates didn’t respond to a request for comment.</p><p><blockquote>61岁的拉森承认，正如《泰晤士报》报道中所指控的那样，他有时会使用严厉的语言，但否认他虐待员工。Cascade的一名代表表示，这些事情已经过审查，没有理由解雇他。盖茨的代表没有回应置评请求。</blockquote></p><p> Mohamed said it’s of little surprise that Larson has remained in his role after the allegations, given his decades-long tenure with Gates and the loyalty it has likely engendered.</p><p><blockquote>穆罕默德表示，考虑到拉森在盖茨长达数十年的任期以及由此可能产生的忠诚，拉森在指控后继续留任并不奇怪。</blockquote></p><p> “Had Larson not had the professional impact he had, it would be a simple yes, he should resign,” said Mohamed, whose company helps family offices fill leadership positions.</p><p><blockquote>穆罕默德说：“如果拉森没有像他那样的职业影响力，那就是简单的“是的，他应该辞职”，他的公司帮助家族理财室填补领导职位。</blockquote></p><p> Larson, often clad in a pink shirt, shies from the limelight and rarely attends conferences for family office professionals. A former bond-fund manager, he won Gates’s loyalty by delivering consistent returns and instilling in employees the notion that their primary focus was to protect their benefactor’s good name, according to people familiar with Cascade, who asked not to be named speaking about the company’s inner workings.</p><p><blockquote>拉森经常穿着粉色衬衫，回避聚光灯，很少参加家族理财室专业人士的会议。据熟悉Cascade的人士透露，作为一名前债券基金经理，他通过提供稳定的回报并向员工灌输他们的主要关注点是保护捐助者的好名声的观念，赢得了盖茨的忠诚。在谈到公司的内部运作时，这些人士要求匿名。</blockquote></p><p> The manager had broad leeway from Gates on investment decisions, they both have said. French Gates rarely attended meetings in Cascade’s early days aside from the annual in-person gathering, and when she did she tended to be a passive participant, according to one of the people familiar with the firm.</p><p><blockquote>他们都表示，这位经理在投资决策上与盖茨有很大的回旋余地。据一位熟悉该公司的人士透露，在Cascade早期，除了年度面对面聚会外，弗伦奇·盖茨很少参加会议，即使参加，她也往往是被动的参与者。</blockquote></p><p> She was unaware of most of the allegations involving Larson “given her lack of ownership of and control over BMGI,” her spokeswoman, Courtney Wade, said in a statement.</p><p><blockquote>她的发言人考特尼·韦德(Courtney Wade)在一份声明中表示，“鉴于拉森缺乏对BMGI的所有权和控制权”，她并不知道涉及拉森的大部分指控。</blockquote></p><p> It’s unclear where French Gates is keeping her money, including the more than $3 billion that has been transferred from Cascade, and whether she’s now setting up a family office of her own. She also runs Pivotal Ventures, an investment and incubation firm founded in 2015 that focuses on gender and racial equality and employs roughly 90 people.</p><p><blockquote>目前尚不清楚French Gates将她的钱放在哪里，包括从Cascade转移的超过30亿美元，也不清楚她现在是否正在建立自己的家族办公室。她还经营着Pivotal Ventures，这是一家投资和孵化公司，成立于2015年，专注于性别和种族平等，拥有约90名员工。</blockquote></p><p> Conservative Mandate</p><p><blockquote>保守授权</blockquote></p><p></p><p> Being the investment chief for one of the world’s biggest family fortunes might seem like an enviable job for an investor mulling creative bets. There’s hardly a worry about fundraising, client withdrawals or onerous regulations. But it often instead involves simply keeping wealth steady.</p><p><blockquote>对于考虑创造性赌注的投资者来说，成为世界上最大家族财富之一的投资主管似乎是一份令人羡慕的工作。几乎不用担心筹款、客户提款或繁琐的监管。但它往往只是简单地保持财富稳定。</blockquote></p><p> Aside from detracting attention from the Gateses, Larson’s main mandate has been to invest conservatively -- try to maximize returns but don’t lose money, one of the people said.</p><p><blockquote>其中一位知情人士表示，除了转移人们对盖茨夫妇的注意力外，拉森的主要任务是保守投资——努力实现回报最大化，但不要亏损。</blockquote></p><p> That reflects the typical investment approaches of big family offices and foundations, said Raphael Amit, professor of management at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School.</p><p><blockquote>宾夕法尼亚大学沃顿商学院管理学教授拉斐尔·阿米特表示，这反映了大型家族办公室和基金会的典型投资方式。</blockquote></p><p> “The No. 1 objective is preservation of capital,” he said, adding that’s why family office portfolios are so diverse, including not just public equities, but also fixed income, commodities and assets such as art.</p><p><blockquote>“首要目标是保本，”他说，并补充说这就是家族办公室投资组合如此多样化的原因，不仅包括公共股票，还包括固定收益、大宗商品和艺术品等资产。</blockquote></p><p> In a Fortune story from two decades ago, Larson explained that much of his strategy boiled down to countering the swings of Microsoft stock. At the time, the portfolios both for the foundation and for the Gateses’ personal money mostly consisted of bonds, with some bets on private equity, commodities, Florida real estate and British hotels.</p><p><blockquote>在二十年前的《财富》杂志的一篇报道中，拉尔森解释说，他的大部分策略都归结为对抗微软股票的波动。当时，基金会和盖茨夫妇个人资金的投资组合主要由债券组成，部分押注于私募股权、大宗商品、佛罗里达州房地产和英国酒店。</blockquote></p><p> That has shifted. Today Cascade holds about $57 billion in public equities, ranging from farm-equipment maker Deere &amp; Co. to track operator Canadian National Railway Co. to waste management firm Republic Services Inc. -- companies rooted in the physical world of making, moving and selling goods, and cleaning things up.</p><p><blockquote>这种情况已经改变了。如今，Cascade持有约570亿美元的公共股票，从农业设备制造商Deere公司到轨道运营商加拿大国家铁路公司，再到废物管理公司Republic Services Inc.——这些公司植根于制造、运输和销售商品和清理物品的物理世界。</blockquote></p><p> Cascade also owns around 270,000 acres of land, enough to make it the single biggest owner of U.S. farmland, according to the Land Report. The firm also has been involved in currency and commodities trading, venture capital and the development of a property complex in downtown Tampa.</p><p><blockquote>根据土地报告，Cascade还拥有约270,000英亩的土地，足以使其成为美国最大的农田所有者。该公司还参与了货币和大宗商品交易、风险投资以及坦帕市中心房地产综合体的开发。</blockquote></p><p> The foundation’s most recent tax returns also shows $804 million of corporate bonds and $5.8 billion of other investments like mortgage-backed securities, bank loans and sovereign debt.</p><p><blockquote>该基金会最近的纳税申报表还显示，8.04亿美元的公司债券和58亿美元的其他投资，如抵押贷款支持证券、银行贷款和主权债务。</blockquote></p><p> Stable Returns</p><p><blockquote>稳定的回报</blockquote></p><p> Cascade doesn’t disclose its overall investment performance, but financial reports from the foundation offer clues. The foundation’s assets under management have returned an average of about 8.6% per year since 2001, according to a person familiar with the matter, beating the S&amp;P 500 Index’s average annual 7.5% gain over the past two decades. That track record is broadly representative of Cascade’s overall returns, another person said.</p><p><blockquote>Cascade没有透露其整体投资业绩，但基金会的财务报告提供了线索。据一位知情人士透露，自2001年以来，该基金会管理的资产平均每年回报率约为8.6%，超过了标普500指数过去二十年7.5%的年均涨幅。另一位人士表示，这一业绩记录广泛代表了Cascade的整体回报。</blockquote></p><p> Cascade’s assets have periodically been boosted by proceeds from the sales of Gates’s Microsoft stock. And Warren Buffett, the founder of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., has periodically given shares in the conglomerate worth billions of dollars to the foundation. Buffett is one of the Gates Foundation’s three board members alongside Gates and French Gates, but has no involvement in investment decisions of the endowment, according to the foundation.</p><p><blockquote>盖茨出售微软股票的收益定期增加Cascade的资产。伯克希尔·哈撒韦公司（Berkshire Hathaway Inc.）的创始人沃伦·巴菲特（Warren Buffett）定期向该基金会捐赠价值数十亿美元的该集团股票。据该基金会称，巴菲特与盖茨和弗伦奇·盖茨一起是盖茨基金会的三名董事会成员之一，但不参与捐赠基金的投资决策。</blockquote></p><p> One remarkable feature of the portfolio is how little it changes. Of the 15 stocks listed in the foundation trust’s most recent filing, which discloses positions traded on U.S. exchanges, 10 of them were in the portfolio a decade ago.</p><p><blockquote>投资组合的一个显着特点是变化很小。基金会信托最近提交的文件披露了在美国交易所交易的头寸，其中列出了15只股票，其中10只股票十年前就在投资组合中。</blockquote></p><p> The holdings haven’t uniformly jived with the Gateses’ charitable endeavors or priorities, which include global health and, more recently, climate change.</p><p><blockquote>这些资产与盖茨夫妇的慈善事业或优先事项并不一致，其中包括全球健康和最近的气候变化。</blockquote></p><p> Cascade held investments in oil and gas companies until 2019, Gates said in his recent book about climate change. It was long the biggest owner of Signature Aviation Plc, the world’s largest operator of private-jet bases, before joining a consortium that took the company private this year.

Unflattering details spilled out, including a report that Larson had allegedly harassed and bullied some employees.</p><p><blockquote>这对夫妇上个月的离婚声明打破了策划的形象。令人不快的细节被泄露，包括一份关于拉森涉嫌骚扰和欺负一些员工的报告。</blockquote></p><p> On Monday, a spokesman said that Bill and Melinda Gates Investments -- the 100-person strong team led by Larson that’s overseen their personal fortune and the endowment of their namesake foundation -- changed its name to Cascade Asset Management Co. The moniker closely resembles Cascade Investment, which historically has been the part of BMGI that manages the Gateses’ personal wealth.</p><p><blockquote>周一，一位发言人表示，比尔和梅琳达·盖茨投资公司（Bill and Melinda Gates Investments）更名为Cascade Asset Management Co。这个绰号与Cascade Investment非常相似，Cascade Investment历来是BMGI管理盖茨夫妇个人财富的一部分。</blockquote></p><p> The rebranding is the latest step in the unfolding story of what will happen to one of the world’s largest fortunes when Gates and French Gates finalize their divorce. Larson was hired by the Microsoft Corp. billionaire in the mid-1990s to oversee that wealth.</p><p><blockquote>此次品牌重塑是正在展开的故事的最新一步，当盖茨和法国人盖茨最终离婚时，世界上最大的财富之一将会发生什么。20世纪90年代中期，这位微软亿万富翁聘请拉森来监管这笔财富。</blockquote></p><p> The sprawling portfolio under his purview, estimated by Bloomberg News to be valued at about $170 billion, has over the years generated returns that beat the broader stock market by about a percentage point, according to financial filings and people familiar with the matter.</p><p><blockquote>据财务文件和知情人士透露，据彭博新闻社估计，他管理的庞大投资组合价值约1700亿美元，多年来产生的回报比大盘高出约一个百分点。</blockquote></p><p> The record illustrates the priorities of the uppermost strata of the ultrarich, where investment horizons span generations and riskier bets often don’t outweigh the value of a good reputation. Part of Larson’s job was to help Bill Gates uphold his image as a wonky billionaire devoted to fixing the world’s challenges, rather than make bold moves that could draw scrutiny.</p><p><blockquote>这一记录说明了超级富豪最上层的优先事项，他们的投资期限跨越几代人，风险较高的赌注往往不会超过良好声誉的价值。拉森的部分工作是帮助比尔·盖茨维护他作为致力于解决世界挑战的不可靠亿万富翁的形象，而不是做出可能引起审查的大胆举动。</blockquote></p><p> “The price some of these guys are willing to pay to stay out of the news is high,” said Tayyab Mohamed, co-founder of family office recruiting firm Agreus Group.</p><p><blockquote>家族办公室招聘公司Agreus Group的联合创始人塔亚布·穆罕默德(Tayyab Mohamed)表示：“其中一些人愿意为远离新闻而付出的代价很高。”</blockquote></p><p> The divorce and recent revelations about Cascade’s workplace culture, reported by the New York Times, raise questions about what’s next for Larson and the fortune he oversees. A spokesman for Cascade said BMGI is changing its name “to allow for the evolving needs of the Gates family and their philanthropic work” and that the group’s investment strategy and organizational structure won’t change.</p><p><blockquote>《纽约时报》报道了这起离婚事件以及最近有关卡斯卡德工作场所文化的爆料，引发了人们对拉森和他监管的财富的下一步发展的质疑。Cascade的一位发言人表示，BMGI正在更名，“以满足盖茨家族及其慈善工作不断变化的需求”，并且该集团的投资战略和组织结构不会改变。</blockquote></p><p> French Gates, whose name was added to BMGI in 2014, has been in focus after Cascade transferred equity stakes worth more than $3 billion to her, leading some in the industry to speculate she’s in the process of claiming an even larger control of her share of the riches. Their combined wealth stands at more than $140 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.</p><p><blockquote>弗伦奇·盖茨(French Gates)的名字于2014年加入BMGI，在Cascade将价值超过30亿美元的股权转让给她后，她一直成为人们关注的焦点，导致一些业内人士猜测她正在要求对自己的股份拥有更大的控制权。财富。根据彭博亿万富翁指数，他们的总财富超过1400亿美元。</blockquote></p><p> Larson, 61, has admitted that he sometimes used harsh language, as alleged in the Times reporting, but denied that he mistreated staff.

A representative for Gates didn’t respond to a request for comment.</p><p><blockquote>61岁的拉森承认，正如《泰晤士报》报道中所指控的那样，他有时会使用严厉的语言，但否认他虐待员工。Cascade的一名代表表示，这些事情已经过审查，没有理由解雇他。盖茨的代表没有回应置评请求。</blockquote></p><p> Mohamed said it’s of little surprise that Larson has remained in his role after the allegations, given his decades-long tenure with Gates and the loyalty it has likely engendered.</p><p><blockquote>穆罕默德表示，考虑到拉森在盖茨长达数十年的任期以及由此可能产生的忠诚，拉森在指控后继续留任并不奇怪。</blockquote></p><p> “Had Larson not had the professional impact he had, it would be a simple yes, he should resign,” said Mohamed, whose company helps family offices fill leadership positions.</p><p><blockquote>穆罕默德说：“如果拉森没有像他那样的职业影响力，那就是简单的“是的，他应该辞职”，他的公司帮助家族理财室填补领导职位。</blockquote></p><p> Larson, often clad in a pink shirt, shies from the limelight and rarely attends conferences for family office professionals. A former bond-fund manager, he won Gates’s loyalty by delivering consistent returns and instilling in employees the notion that their primary focus was to protect their benefactor’s good name, according to people familiar with Cascade, who asked not to be named speaking about the company’s inner workings.</p><p><blockquote>拉森经常穿着粉色衬衫，回避聚光灯，很少参加家族理财室专业人士的会议。据熟悉Cascade的人士透露，作为一名前债券基金经理，他通过提供稳定的回报并向员工灌输他们的主要关注点是保护捐助者的好名声的观念，赢得了盖茨的忠诚。在谈到公司的内部运作时，这些人士要求匿名。</blockquote></p><p> The manager had broad leeway from Gates on investment decisions, they both have said. French Gates rarely attended meetings in Cascade’s early days aside from the annual in-person gathering, and when she did she tended to be a passive participant, according to one of the people familiar with the firm.</p><p><blockquote>他们都表示，这位经理在投资决策上与盖茨有很大的回旋余地。据一位熟悉该公司的人士透露，在Cascade早期，除了年度面对面聚会外，弗伦奇·盖茨很少参加会议，即使参加，她也往往是被动的参与者。</blockquote></p><p> She was unaware of most of the allegations involving Larson “given her lack of ownership of and control over BMGI,” her spokeswoman, Courtney Wade, said in a statement.</p><p><blockquote>她的发言人考特尼·韦德(Courtney Wade)在一份声明中表示，“鉴于拉森缺乏对BMGI的所有权和控制权”，她并不知道涉及拉森的大部分指控。</blockquote></p><p> It’s unclear where French Gates is keeping her money, including the more than $3 billion that has been transferred from Cascade, and whether she’s now setting up a family office of her own. She also runs Pivotal Ventures, an investment and incubation firm founded in 2015 that focuses on gender and racial equality and employs roughly 90 people.</p><p><blockquote>目前尚不清楚French Gates将她的钱放在哪里，包括从Cascade转移的超过30亿美元，也不清楚她现在是否正在建立自己的家族办公室。她还经营着Pivotal Ventures，这是一家投资和孵化公司，成立于2015年，专注于性别和种族平等，拥有约90名员工。</blockquote></p><p> Conservative Mandate</p><p><blockquote>保守授权</blockquote></p><p></p><p> Being the investment chief for one of the world’s biggest family fortunes might seem like an enviable job for an investor mulling creative bets. There’s hardly a worry about fundraising, client withdrawals or onerous regulations. But it often instead involves simply keeping wealth steady.</p><p><blockquote>对于考虑创造性赌注的投资者来说，成为世界上最大家族财富之一的投资主管似乎是一份令人羡慕的工作。几乎不用担心筹款、客户提款或繁琐的监管。但它往往只是简单地保持财富稳定。</blockquote></p><p> Aside from detracting attention from the Gateses, Larson’s main mandate has been to invest conservatively -- try to maximize returns but don’t lose money, one of the people said.</p><p><blockquote>其中一位知情人士表示，除了转移人们对盖茨夫妇的注意力外，拉森的主要任务是保守投资——努力实现回报最大化，但不要亏损。</blockquote></p><p> That reflects the typical investment approaches of big family offices and foundations, said Raphael Amit, professor of management at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School.</p><p><blockquote>宾夕法尼亚大学沃顿商学院管理学教授拉斐尔·阿米特表示，这反映了大型家族办公室和基金会的典型投资方式。</blockquote></p><p> “The No. 1 objective is preservation of capital,” he said, adding that’s why family office portfolios are so diverse, including not just public equities, but also fixed income, commodities and assets such as art.</p><p><blockquote>“首要目标是保本，”他说，并补充说这就是家族办公室投资组合如此多样化的原因，不仅包括公共股票，还包括固定收益、大宗商品和艺术品等资产。</blockquote></p><p> In a Fortune story from two decades ago, Larson explained that much of his strategy boiled down to countering the swings of Microsoft stock. At the time, the portfolios both for the foundation and for the Gateses’ personal money mostly consisted of bonds, with some bets on private equity, commodities, Florida real estate and British hotels.</p><p><blockquote>在二十年前的《财富》杂志的一篇报道中，拉尔森解释说，他的大部分策略都归结为对抗微软股票的波动。当时，基金会和盖茨夫妇个人资金的投资组合主要由债券组成，部分押注于私募股权、大宗商品、佛罗里达州房地产和英国酒店。</blockquote></p><p> That has shifted. Today Cascade holds about $57 billion in public equities, ranging from farm-equipment maker Deere &amp; Co. to track operator Canadian National Railway Co. to waste management firm Republic Services Inc. -- companies rooted in the physical world of making, moving and selling goods, and cleaning things up.</p><p><blockquote>这种情况已经改变了。如今，Cascade持有约570亿美元的公共股票，从农业设备制造商Deere公司到轨道运营商加拿大国家铁路公司，再到废物管理公司Republic Services Inc.——这些公司植根于制造、运输和销售商品和清理物品的物理世界。</blockquote></p><p> Cascade also owns around 270,000 acres of land, enough to make it the single biggest owner of U.S. farmland, according to the Land Report. The firm also has been involved in currency and commodities trading, venture capital and the development of a property complex in downtown Tampa.</p><p><blockquote>根据土地报告，Cascade还拥有约270,000英亩的土地，足以使其成为美国最大的农田所有者。该公司还参与了货币和大宗商品交易、风险投资以及坦帕市中心房地产综合体的开发。</blockquote></p><p> The foundation’s most recent tax returns also shows $804 million of corporate bonds and $5.8 billion of other investments like mortgage-backed securities, bank loans and sovereign debt.</p><p><blockquote>该基金会最近的纳税申报表还显示，8.04亿美元的公司债券和58亿美元的其他投资，如抵押贷款支持证券、银行贷款和主权债务。</blockquote></p><p> Stable Returns</p><p><blockquote>稳定的回报</blockquote></p><p> Cascade doesn’t disclose its overall investment performance, but financial reports from the foundation offer clues. The foundation’s assets under management have returned an average of about 8.6% per year since 2001, according to a person familiar with the matter, beating the S&amp;P 500 Index’s average annual 7.5% gain over the past two decades. That track record is broadly representative of Cascade’s overall returns, another person said.</p><p><blockquote>Cascade没有透露其整体投资业绩，但基金会的财务报告提供了线索。据一位知情人士透露，自2001年以来，该基金会管理的资产平均每年回报率约为8.6%，超过了标普500指数过去二十年7.5%的年均涨幅。另一位人士表示，这一业绩记录广泛代表了Cascade的整体回报。</blockquote></p><p> Cascade’s assets have periodically been boosted by proceeds from the sales of Gates’s Microsoft stock.

Michael Larson has quietly shuffled around one of the world","content":"<p>(Bloomberg) -- For almost three decades, Michael Larson has quietly shuffled around one of the world’s biggest fortunes with a chief priority: Keep his fabulously wealthy bosses out of the headlines.</p><p><blockquote>（彭博社）——近三十年来，迈克尔·拉森一直在悄悄地洗牌世界上最大的财富之一，他的首要任务是：让他极其富有的老板远离头条新闻。</blockquote></p><p> The conservative bets, the nondescript office, the investment firm’s generic-sounding name; they were all carefully designed to shield Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates from criticism and produce steady, if seemingly unimpressive, returns.</p><p><blockquote>保守的赌注、不起眼的办公室、投资公司听起来很普通的名字；它们都是精心设计的，以保护比尔·盖茨和梅林达·弗伦奇·盖茨免受批评，并产生稳定的回报，尽管看起来不起眼。</blockquote></p><p> The couple’s divorce announcement last month cracked the curated image. Unflattering details spilled out, including a report that Larson had allegedly harassed and bullied some employees.</p><p><blockquote>这对夫妇上个月的离婚声明打破了策划的形象。令人不快的细节被泄露，包括一份关于拉森涉嫌骚扰和欺负一些员工的报告。</blockquote></p><p> On Monday, a spokesman said that Bill and Melinda Gates Investments -- the 100-person strong team led by Larson that’s overseen their personal fortune and the endowment of their namesake foundation -- changed its name to Cascade Asset Management Co. The moniker closely resembles Cascade Investment, which historically has been the part of BMGI that manages the Gateses’ personal wealth.</p><p><blockquote>周一，一位发言人表示，比尔和梅琳达·盖茨投资公司（Bill and Melinda Gates Investments）更名为Cascade Asset Management Co。这个绰号与Cascade Investment非常相似，Cascade Investment历来是BMGI管理盖茨夫妇个人财富的一部分。</blockquote></p><p> The rebranding is the latest step in the unfolding story of what will happen to one of the world’s largest fortunes when Gates and French Gates finalize their divorce. Larson was hired by the Microsoft Corp. billionaire in the mid-1990s to oversee that wealth.</p><p><blockquote>此次品牌重塑是正在展开的故事的最新一步，当盖茨和法国人盖茨最终离婚时，世界上最大的财富之一将会发生什么。20世纪90年代中期，这位微软亿万富翁聘请拉森来监管这笔财富。</blockquote></p><p> The sprawling portfolio under his purview, estimated by Bloomberg News to be valued at about $170 billion, has over the years generated returns that beat the broader stock market by about a percentage point, according to financial filings and people familiar with the matter.</p><p><blockquote>据财务文件和知情人士透露，据彭博新闻社估计，他管理的庞大投资组合价值约1700亿美元，多年来产生的回报比大盘高出约一个百分点。</blockquote></p><p> The record illustrates the priorities of the uppermost strata of the ultrarich, where investment horizons span generations and riskier bets often don’t outweigh the value of a good reputation. Part of Larson’s job was to help Bill Gates uphold his image as a wonky billionaire devoted to fixing the world’s challenges, rather than make bold moves that could draw scrutiny.</p><p><blockquote>这一记录说明了超级富豪最上层的优先事项，他们的投资期限跨越几代人，风险较高的赌注往往不会超过良好声誉的价值。拉森的部分工作是帮助比尔·盖茨维护他作为致力于解决世界挑战的不可靠亿万富翁的形象，而不是做出可能引起审查的大胆举动。</blockquote></p><p> “The price some of these guys are willing to pay to stay out of the news is high,” said Tayyab Mohamed, co-founder of family office recruiting firm Agreus Group.</p><p><blockquote>家族办公室招聘公司Agreus Group的联合创始人塔亚布·穆罕默德(Tayyab Mohamed)表示：“其中一些人愿意为远离新闻而付出的代价很高。”</blockquote></p><p> The divorce and recent revelations about Cascade’s workplace culture, reported by the New York Times, raise questions about what’s next for Larson and the fortune he oversees. A spokesman for Cascade said BMGI is changing its name “to allow for the evolving needs of the Gates family and their philanthropic work” and that the group’s investment strategy and organizational structure won’t change.</p><p><blockquote>《纽约时报》报道了这起离婚事件以及最近有关卡斯卡德工作场所文化的爆料，引发了人们对拉森和他监管的财富的下一步发展的质疑。Cascade的一位发言人表示，BMGI正在更名，“以满足盖茨家族及其慈善工作不断变化的需求”，并且该集团的投资战略和组织结构不会改变。</blockquote></p><p> French Gates, whose name was added to BMGI in 2014, has been in focus after Cascade transferred equity stakes worth more than $3 billion to her, leading some in the industry to speculate she’s in the process of claiming an even larger control of her share of the riches. Their combined wealth stands at more than $140 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.</p><p><blockquote>弗伦奇·盖茨(French Gates)的名字于2014年加入BMGI，在Cascade将价值超过30亿美元的股权转让给她后，她一直成为人们关注的焦点，导致一些业内人士猜测她正在要求对自己的股份拥有更大的控制权。财富。根据彭博亿万富翁指数，他们的总财富超过1400亿美元。</blockquote></p><p> Larson, 61, has admitted that he sometimes used harsh language, as alleged in the Times reporting, but denied that he mistreated staff. A Cascade representative has said the matters were examined and didn’t warrant his dismissal. A representative for Gates didn’t respond to a request for comment.</p><p><blockquote>61岁的拉森承认，正如《泰晤士报》报道中所指控的那样，他有时会使用严厉的语言，但否认他虐待员工。Cascade的一名代表表示，这些事情已经过审查，没有理由解雇他。盖茨的代表没有回应置评请求。</blockquote></p><p> Mohamed said it’s of little surprise that Larson has remained in his role after the allegations, given his decades-long tenure with Gates and the loyalty it has likely engendered.</p><p><blockquote>穆罕默德表示，考虑到拉森在盖茨长达数十年的任期以及由此可能产生的忠诚，拉森在指控后继续留任并不奇怪。</blockquote></p><p> “Had Larson not had the professional impact he had, it would be a simple yes, he should resign,” said Mohamed, whose company helps family offices fill leadership positions.</p><p><blockquote>穆罕默德说：“如果拉森没有像他那样的职业影响力，那就是简单的“是的，他应该辞职”，他的公司帮助家族理财室填补领导职位。</blockquote></p><p> Larson, often clad in a pink shirt, shies from the limelight and rarely attends conferences for family office professionals. A former bond-fund manager, he won Gates’s loyalty by delivering consistent returns and instilling in employees the notion that their primary focus was to protect their benefactor’s good name, according to people familiar with Cascade, who asked not to be named speaking about the company’s inner workings.</p><p><blockquote>拉森经常穿着粉色衬衫，回避聚光灯，很少参加家族理财室专业人士的会议。据熟悉Cascade的人士透露，作为一名前债券基金经理，他通过提供稳定的回报并向员工灌输他们的主要关注点是保护捐助者的好名声的观念，赢得了盖茨的忠诚。在谈到公司的内部运作时，这些人士要求匿名。</blockquote></p><p> The manager had broad leeway from Gates on investment decisions, they both have said. French Gates rarely attended meetings in Cascade’s early days aside from the annual in-person gathering, and when she did she tended to be a passive participant, according to one of the people familiar with the firm.</p><p><blockquote>他们都表示，这位经理在投资决策上与盖茨有很大的回旋余地。据一位熟悉该公司的人士透露，在Cascade早期，除了年度面对面聚会外，弗伦奇·盖茨很少参加会议，即使参加，她也往往是被动的参与者。</blockquote></p><p> She was unaware of most of the allegations involving Larson “given her lack of ownership of and control over BMGI,” her spokeswoman, Courtney Wade, said in a statement.</p><p><blockquote>她的发言人考特尼·韦德(Courtney Wade)在一份声明中表示，“鉴于拉森缺乏对BMGI的所有权和控制权”，她并不知道涉及拉森的大部分指控。</blockquote></p><p> It’s unclear where French Gates is keeping her money, including the more than $3 billion that has been transferred from Cascade, and whether she’s now setting up a family office of her own. She also runs Pivotal Ventures, an investment and incubation firm founded in 2015 that focuses on gender and racial equality and employs roughly 90 people.</p><p><blockquote>目前尚不清楚French Gates将她的钱放在哪里，包括从Cascade转移的超过30亿美元，也不清楚她现在是否正在建立自己的家族办公室。她还经营着Pivotal Ventures，这是一家投资和孵化公司，成立于2015年，专注于性别和种族平等，拥有约90名员工。</blockquote></p><p> Conservative Mandate</p><p><blockquote>保守授权</blockquote></p><p></p><p> Being the investment chief for one of the world’s biggest family fortunes might seem like an enviable job for an investor mulling creative bets. There’s hardly a worry about fundraising, client withdrawals or onerous regulations. But it often instead involves simply keeping wealth steady.</p><p><blockquote>对于考虑创造性赌注的投资者来说，成为世界上最大家族财富之一的投资主管似乎是一份令人羡慕的工作。几乎不用担心筹款、客户提款或繁琐的监管。但它往往只是简单地保持财富稳定。</blockquote></p><p> Aside from detracting attention from the Gateses, Larson’s main mandate has been to invest conservatively -- try to maximize returns but don’t lose money, one of the people said.</p><p><blockquote>其中一位知情人士表示，除了转移人们对盖茨夫妇的注意力外，拉森的主要任务是保守投资——努力实现回报最大化，但不要亏损。</blockquote></p><p> That reflects the typical investment approaches of big family offices and foundations, said Raphael Amit, professor of management at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School.</p><p><blockquote>宾夕法尼亚大学沃顿商学院管理学教授拉斐尔·阿米特表示，这反映了大型家族办公室和基金会的典型投资方式。</blockquote></p><p> “The No. 1 objective is preservation of capital,” he said, adding that’s why family office portfolios are so diverse, including not just public equities, but also fixed income, commodities and assets such as art.</p><p><blockquote>“首要目标是保本，”他说，并补充说这就是家族办公室投资组合如此多样化的原因，不仅包括公共股票，还包括固定收益、大宗商品和艺术品等资产。</blockquote></p><p> In a Fortune story from two decades ago, Larson explained that much of his strategy boiled down to countering the swings of Microsoft stock. At the time, the portfolios both for the foundation and for the Gateses’ personal money mostly consisted of bonds, with some bets on private equity, commodities, Florida real estate and British hotels.</p><p><blockquote>在二十年前的《财富》杂志的一篇报道中，拉尔森解释说，他的大部分策略都归结为对抗微软股票的波动。当时，基金会和盖茨夫妇个人资金的投资组合主要由债券组成，部分押注于私募股权、大宗商品、佛罗里达州房地产和英国酒店。</blockquote></p><p> That has shifted. Today Cascade holds about $57 billion in public equities, ranging from farm-equipment maker Deere &amp; Co. to track operator Canadian National Railway Co. to waste management firm Republic Services Inc. -- companies rooted in the physical world of making, moving and selling goods, and cleaning things up.</p><p><blockquote>这种情况已经改变了。如今，Cascade持有约570亿美元的公共股票，从农业设备制造商Deere公司到轨道运营商加拿大国家铁路公司，再到废物管理公司Republic Services Inc.——这些公司植根于制造、运输和销售商品和清理物品的物理世界。</blockquote></p><p> Cascade also owns around 270,000 acres of land, enough to make it the single biggest owner of U.S. farmland, according to the Land Report. The firm also has been involved in currency and commodities trading, venture capital and the development of a property complex in downtown Tampa.</p><p><blockquote>根据土地报告，Cascade还拥有约270,000英亩的土地，足以使其成为美国最大的农田所有者。该公司还参与了货币和大宗商品交易、风险投资以及坦帕市中心房地产综合体的开发。</blockquote></p><p> The foundation’s most recent tax returns also shows $804 million of corporate bonds and $5.8 billion of other investments like mortgage-backed securities, bank loans and sovereign debt.</p><p><blockquote>该基金会最近的纳税申报表还显示，8.04亿美元的公司债券和58亿美元的其他投资，如抵押贷款支持证券、银行贷款和主权债务。</blockquote></p><p> Stable Returns</p><p><blockquote>稳定的回报</blockquote></p><p> Cascade doesn’t disclose its overall investment performance, but financial reports from the foundation offer clues. The foundation’s assets under management have returned an average of about 8.6% per year since 2001, according to a person familiar with the matter, beating the S&amp;P 500 Index’s average annual 7.5% gain over the past two decades. That track record is broadly representative of Cascade’s overall returns, another person said.</p><p><blockquote>Cascade没有透露其整体投资业绩，但基金会的财务报告提供了线索。据一位知情人士透露，自2001年以来，该基金会管理的资产平均每年回报率约为8.6%，超过了标普500指数过去二十年7.5%的年均涨幅。另一位人士表示，这一业绩记录广泛代表了Cascade的整体回报。</blockquote></p><p> Cascade’s assets have periodically been boosted by proceeds from the sales of Gates’s Microsoft stock. And Warren Buffett, the founder of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., has periodically given shares in the conglomerate worth billions of dollars to the foundation. Buffett is one of the Gates Foundation’s three board members alongside Gates and French Gates, but has no involvement in investment decisions of the endowment, according to the foundation.</p><p><blockquote>盖茨出售微软股票的收益定期增加Cascade的资产。伯克希尔·哈撒韦公司（Berkshire Hathaway Inc.）的创始人沃伦·巴菲特（Warren Buffett）定期向该基金会捐赠价值数十亿美元的该集团股票。据该基金会称，巴菲特与盖茨和弗伦奇·盖茨一起是盖茨基金会的三名董事会成员之一，但不参与捐赠基金的投资决策。</blockquote></p><p> One remarkable feature of the portfolio is how little it changes. Of the 15 stocks listed in the foundation trust’s most recent filing, which discloses positions traded on U.S. exchanges, 10 of them were in the portfolio a decade ago.</p><p><blockquote>投资组合的一个显着特点是变化很小。基金会信托最近提交的文件披露了在美国交易所交易的头寸，其中列出了15只股票，其中10只股票十年前就在投资组合中。</blockquote></p><p> The holdings haven’t uniformly jived with the Gateses’ charitable endeavors or priorities, which include global health and, more recently, climate change.</p><p><blockquote>这些资产与盖茨夫妇的慈善事业或优先事项并不一致，其中包括全球健康和最近的气候变化。</blockquote></p><p> Cascade held investments in oil and gas companies until 2019, Gates said in his recent book about climate change. It was long the biggest owner of Signature Aviation Plc, the world’s largest operator of private-jet bases, before joining a consortium that took the company private this year.

Unflattering details spilled out, including a report that Larson had allegedly harassed and bullied some employees.</p><p><blockquote>这对夫妇上个月的离婚声明打破了策划的形象。令人不快的细节被泄露，包括一份关于拉森涉嫌骚扰和欺负一些员工的报告。</blockquote></p><p> On Monday, a spokesman said that Bill and Melinda Gates Investments -- the 100-person strong team led by Larson that’s overseen their personal fortune and the endowment of their namesake foundation -- changed its name to Cascade Asset Management Co. The moniker closely resembles Cascade Investment, which historically has been the part of BMGI that manages the Gateses’ personal wealth.</p><p><blockquote>周一，一位发言人表示，比尔和梅琳达·盖茨投资公司（Bill and Melinda Gates Investments）更名为Cascade Asset Management Co。这个绰号与Cascade Investment非常相似，Cascade Investment历来是BMGI管理盖茨夫妇个人财富的一部分。</blockquote></p><p> The rebranding is the latest step in the unfolding story of what will happen to one of the world’s largest fortunes when Gates and French Gates finalize their divorce.

Part of Larson’s job was to help Bill Gates uphold his image as a wonky billionaire devoted to fixing the world’s challenges, rather than make bold moves that could draw scrutiny.</p><p><blockquote>这一记录说明了超级富豪最上层的优先事项，他们的投资期限跨越几代人，风险较高的赌注往往不会超过良好声誉的价值。拉森的部分工作是帮助比尔·盖茨维护他作为致力于解决世界挑战的不可靠亿万富翁的形象，而不是做出可能引起审查的大胆举动。</blockquote></p><p> “The price some of these guys are willing to pay to stay out of the news is high,” said Tayyab Mohamed, co-founder of family office recruiting firm Agreus Group.</p><p><blockquote>家族办公室招聘公司Agreus Group的联合创始人塔亚布·穆罕默德(Tayyab Mohamed)表示：“其中一些人愿意为远离新闻而付出的代价很高。”</blockquote></p><p> The divorce and recent revelations about Cascade’s workplace culture, reported by the New York Times, raise questions about what’s next for Larson and the fortune he oversees. A spokesman for Cascade said BMGI is changing its name “to allow for the evolving needs of the Gates family and their philanthropic work” and that the group’s investment strategy and organizational structure won’t change.</p><p><blockquote>《纽约时报》报道了这起离婚事件以及最近有关卡斯卡德工作场所文化的爆料，引发了人们对拉森和他监管的财富的下一步发展的质疑。Cascade的一位发言人表示，BMGI正在更名，“以满足盖茨家族及其慈善工作不断变化的需求”，并且该集团的投资战略和组织结构不会改变。</blockquote></p><p> French Gates, whose name was added to BMGI in 2014, has been in focus after Cascade transferred equity stakes worth more than $3 billion to her, leading some in the industry to speculate she’s in the process of claiming an even larger control of her share of the riches. Their combined wealth stands at more than $140 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.</p><p><blockquote>弗伦奇·盖茨(French Gates)的名字于2014年加入BMGI，在Cascade将价值超过30亿美元的股权转让给她后，她一直成为人们关注的焦点，导致一些业内人士猜测她正在要求对自己的股份拥有更大的控制权。财富。根据彭博亿万富翁指数，他们的总财富超过1400亿美元。</blockquote></p><p> Larson, 61, has admitted that he sometimes used harsh language, as alleged in the Times reporting, but denied that he mistreated staff.

A representative for Gates didn’t respond to a request for comment.</p><p><blockquote>61岁的拉森承认，正如《泰晤士报》报道中所指控的那样，他有时会使用严厉的语言，但否认他虐待员工。Cascade的一名代表表示，这些事情已经过审查，没有理由解雇他。盖茨的代表没有回应置评请求。</blockquote></p><p> Mohamed said it’s of little surprise that Larson has remained in his role after the allegations, given his decades-long tenure with Gates and the loyalty it has likely engendered.</p><p><blockquote>穆罕默德表示，考虑到拉森在盖茨长达数十年的任期以及由此可能产生的忠诚，拉森在指控后继续留任并不奇怪。</blockquote></p><p> “Had Larson not had the professional impact he had, it would be a simple yes, he should resign,” said Mohamed, whose company helps family offices fill leadership positions.</p><p><blockquote>穆罕默德说：“如果拉森没有像他那样的职业影响力，那就是简单的“是的，他应该辞职”，他的公司帮助家族理财室填补领导职位。</blockquote></p><p> Larson, often clad in a pink shirt, shies from the limelight and rarely attends conferences for family office professionals. A former bond-fund manager, he won Gates’s loyalty by delivering consistent returns and instilling in employees the notion that their primary focus was to protect their benefactor’s good name, according to people familiar with Cascade, who asked not to be named speaking about the company’s inner workings.</p><p><blockquote>拉森经常穿着粉色衬衫，回避聚光灯，很少参加家族理财室专业人士的会议。据熟悉Cascade的人士透露，作为一名前债券基金经理，他通过提供稳定的回报并向员工灌输他们的主要关注点是保护捐助者的好名声的观念，赢得了盖茨的忠诚。在谈到公司的内部运作时，这些人士要求匿名。</blockquote></p><p> The manager had broad leeway from Gates on investment decisions, they both have said. French Gates rarely attended meetings in Cascade’s early days aside from the annual in-person gathering, and when she did she tended to be a passive participant, according to one of the people familiar with the firm.</p><p><blockquote>他们都表示，这位经理在投资决策上与盖茨有很大的回旋余地。据一位熟悉该公司的人士透露，在Cascade早期，除了年度面对面聚会外，弗伦奇·盖茨很少参加会议，即使参加，她也往往是被动的参与者。</blockquote></p><p> She was unaware of most of the allegations involving Larson “given her lack of ownership of and control over BMGI,” her spokeswoman, Courtney Wade, said in a statement.</p><p><blockquote>她的发言人考特尼·韦德(Courtney Wade)在一份声明中表示，“鉴于拉森缺乏对BMGI的所有权和控制权”，她并不知道涉及拉森的大部分指控。</blockquote></p><p> It’s unclear where French Gates is keeping her money, including the more than $3 billion that has been transferred from Cascade, and whether she’s now setting up a family office of her own. She also runs Pivotal Ventures, an investment and incubation firm founded in 2015 that focuses on gender and racial equality and employs roughly 90 people.</p><p><blockquote>目前尚不清楚French Gates将她的钱放在哪里，包括从Cascade转移的超过30亿美元，也不清楚她现在是否正在建立自己的家族办公室。她还经营着Pivotal Ventures，这是一家投资和孵化公司，成立于2015年，专注于性别和种族平等，拥有约90名员工。</blockquote></p><p> Conservative Mandate</p><p><blockquote>保守授权</blockquote></p><p></p><p> Being the investment chief for one of the world’s biggest family fortunes might seem like an enviable job for an investor mulling creative bets. There’s hardly a worry about fundraising, client withdrawals or onerous regulations. But it often instead involves simply keeping wealth steady.</p><p><blockquote>对于考虑创造性赌注的投资者来说，成为世界上最大家族财富之一的投资主管似乎是一份令人羡慕的工作。几乎不用担心筹款、客户提款或繁琐的监管。但它往往只是简单地保持财富稳定。</blockquote></p><p> Aside from detracting attention from the Gateses, Larson’s main mandate has been to invest conservatively -- try to maximize returns but don’t lose money, one of the people said.</p><p><blockquote>其中一位知情人士表示，除了转移人们对盖茨夫妇的注意力外，拉森的主要任务是保守投资——努力实现回报最大化，但不要亏损。</blockquote></p><p> That reflects the typical investment approaches of big family offices and foundations, said Raphael Amit, professor of management at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School.</p><p><blockquote>宾夕法尼亚大学沃顿商学院管理学教授拉斐尔·阿米特表示，这反映了大型家族办公室和基金会的典型投资方式。</blockquote></p><p> “The No. 1 objective is preservation of capital,” he said, adding that’s why family office portfolios are so diverse, including not just public equities, but also fixed income, commodities and assets such as art.</p><p><blockquote>“首要目标是保本，”他说，并补充说这就是家族办公室投资组合如此多样化的原因，不仅包括公共股票，还包括固定收益、大宗商品和艺术品等资产。</blockquote></p><p> In a Fortune story from two decades ago, Larson explained that much of his strategy boiled down to countering the swings of Microsoft stock. At the time, the portfolios both for the foundation and for the Gateses’ personal money mostly consisted of bonds, with some bets on private equity, commodities, Florida real estate and British hotels.</p><p><blockquote>在二十年前的《财富》杂志的一篇报道中，拉尔森解释说，他的大部分策略都归结为对抗微软股票的波动。当时，基金会和盖茨夫妇个人资金的投资组合主要由债券组成，部分押注于私募股权、大宗商品、佛罗里达州房地产和英国酒店。</blockquote></p><p> That has shifted. Today Cascade holds about $57 billion in public equities, ranging from farm-equipment maker Deere &amp; Co. to track operator Canadian National Railway Co. to waste management firm Republic Services Inc. -- companies rooted in the physical world of making, moving and selling goods, and cleaning things up.</p><p><blockquote>这种情况已经改变了。如今，Cascade持有约570亿美元的公共股票，从农业设备制造商Deere公司到轨道运营商加拿大国家铁路公司，再到废物管理公司Republic Services Inc.——这些公司植根于制造、运输和销售商品和清理物品的物理世界。</blockquote></p><p> Cascade also owns around 270,000 acres of land, enough to make it the single biggest owner of U.S. farmland, according to the Land Report. The firm also has been involved in currency and commodities trading, venture capital and the development of a property complex in downtown Tampa.</p><p><blockquote>根据土地报告，Cascade还拥有约270,000英亩的土地，足以使其成为美国最大的农田所有者。该公司还参与了货币和大宗商品交易、风险投资以及坦帕市中心房地产综合体的开发。</blockquote></p><p> The foundation’s most recent tax returns also shows $804 million of corporate bonds and $5.8 billion of other investments like mortgage-backed securities, bank loans and sovereign debt.</p><p><blockquote>该基金会最近的纳税申报表还显示，8.04亿美元的公司债券和58亿美元的其他投资，如抵押贷款支持证券、银行贷款和主权债务。</blockquote></p><p> Stable Returns</p><p><blockquote>稳定的回报</blockquote></p><p> Cascade doesn’t disclose its overall investment performance, but financial reports from the foundation offer clues. The foundation’s assets under management have returned an average of about 8.6% per year since 2001, according to a person familiar with the matter, beating the S&amp;P 500 Index’s average annual 7.5% gain over the past two decades. That track record is broadly representative of Cascade’s overall returns, another person said.</p><p><blockquote>Cascade没有透露其整体投资业绩，但基金会的财务报告提供了线索。据一位知情人士透露，自2001年以来，该基金会管理的资产平均每年回报率约为8.6%，超过了标普500指数过去二十年7.5%的年均涨幅。另一位人士表示，这一业绩记录广泛代表了Cascade的整体回报。</blockquote></p><p> Cascade’s assets have periodically been boosted by proceeds from the sales of Gates’s Microsoft stock.
