Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox company Шаблон:Bill Gates series Cascade Investment, L.L.C. is an American holding company and private investment firm headquartered in Kirkland, Washington, United States. [1] It is controlled by Bill Gates, and managed by Michael Larson.[2] More than half of Gates's fortune is held in assets outside his holding of Microsoft shares.[3] Cascade is the successor company to Dominion Income Management, the former investment vehicle for Gates's holdings, which was managed by convicted felon Andrew Evans.[4]

Larson reportedly directs Cascade's investments through Bill and Melinda Gates Investments, a firm that also manages the portfolios of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and other connected entities.[5] Larson accrued over the twenty years from 1995 an 11% compound annual return,[5] and as of 2014 had 100 employees working under his direction.[6] In 2021, Cascade drew attention due to allegations of toxic work environment caused by Larson.[7]

With 269,000 acres of farmland (which has been historically countercyclical to the stock market) being held through a wide network of shell companies, Cascade Investment is the largest farmland owner in the United States.[8]

Cascade has managed Gates' stake in Canadian National Railway since 2013.[9] This constituted one of the investment firm's largest holdings.[10] In 2022, the company sold $940 million worth of stocks, whittling Gates' stake down to 1.4 percent.[9]
