The Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) founder is one of the few people who can legitimately claim to be one of the world's first big-tech titans. He has also become one of the world's most famous investors and his moves are very closely monitored by traders looking for an edge. Gates does most of his investments via his foundation and the latest breakdown of his trades shows that just two stocks make up over 50% of its portfolio.

</ul>
Microsoft &#8211; 28%
This one seems pretty obvious. Gates, after all, is the founder of Microsoft, which produces the world's most popular PC operating system. That alone gives Microsoft a large, and permanent market share in one of the world's most lucrative business sectors. The company's ubiquitous presence in the PC market helps explain why Microsoft is a member of the S&amp;P 500 Magnificent Seven.
Like most big tech outfits, Microsoft is heavily involved in AI and cloud services. Both pursuits supplement the revenue Microsoft generates from sales of its Windows operating system and related software. Additionally, Microsoft's giant market share in the PC and OS sectors creates a built-in customer base for its latest AI endeavor, Microsoft 365 Copilot.
Microsoft 365 Copilot is an enhanced version of its bread-and-butter operating system that uses AI to enhance the user's experience across the company's product line (e.g., Microsoft Excel, Powerpoint). Despite Apple's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) high visibility and intense user loyalty, Microsoft still controls the lion's share of the PC market for business and professional purposes.&nbsp; When you combine that with Microsoft's burgeoning AI capabilities, you get a bona fide mega-cap tech giant.
Trending: If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/go/arrived-private-credit-yf">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?
That helps explain this tech giant's $416.91 stock price and why CEO Satya Nadella claimed the company's AI business is "on track to surpass an annual revenue run rate of $10 billion next quarter," on Microsoft's last<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43333060/msft-stock-declines-over-4-in-premarket-after-q2-results-ceo-satya-nadella-says-deepseek-has-some-real-innovations"> earnings call</a>.<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MSFT/analyst-ratings"> Benzinga's survey of 31 analysts</a> also shows a consensus price target of 509, which means there is plenty of upside left in this stock. No wonder the Bill and Melinda Gates Trust Fund is so heavily invested.
Berkshire Hathaway &#8211; 23%
It's hard to argue against Warren Buffett's investment acumen and Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>, BRK.B)) multi-decade run as a winning stock is proof positive of why. The holding company owns interests in dozens of different businesses across multiple sectors that include, but are not limited to:
&nbsp;·&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Retail
·&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Tech
·&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Transportation
·&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Insurance
·&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Manufacturing
·&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Utilities
Owning Berkshire shares gives investors the luxury of buying into companies hand-selected by<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43305237/investor-calls-berkshire-hathaway-a-boomer-meme-coin-and-warren-buffett-the-og-financial-influencer-and-ignites-a-relentless-backlash"> Buffett</a>. In that sense, it's like buying into a high-performing hedge fund without the annual fees. However, it's Berkshire's insurance investments that give it so much financial muscle. Insurance companies generate something called "float," which is the combined total of policy premiums left over after the insurer pays its claims.&nbsp;&nbsp;
See Also: This Jeff Bezos-backed startup will allow you to <a href="https://arrivedhomes.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=15&amp;aff_id=1006&amp;aff_sub=yahoo&amp;aff_sub2=byerscta100">become a landlord in just 10 minutes, with minimum investments as low as $100</a>.
This float is for all intents and purposes, a zero-interest loan. Berkshire's ownership in so many insurance companies means it has a massive pile of cash to invest with. Buffett uses this float to his advantage by making smart investment decisions that generate profit for Berkshire and major stockholders like The Bill and Melinda Gates Trust Fund.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Problem With Copying Bill Gates' Investment Style</h2>
Public filings show the Bill and Melinda Gates Trust Fund has beaten the S&amp;P 500 by 13% over the past three years. Much of that performance is down to the success of its massive holdings in Microsoft and Berkshire. The only potential downside to trying to duplicate Gates' methods is that Berkshire and Microsoft shares are very expensive, so you may need to start small before you can copy Gates' style.

Schlumberger N.V. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLB#NYSE">SLB</a>) shares are trading relatively flat in the premarket session on Wednesday after jumping<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/b43461136/slb-onesubsea-signs-agreement-with-v-r-energi-for-upcoming-subsea-developments-in-norway" rel="noreferrer noopener"> over 2% yesterday.</a>
Yesterday, Schlumberger&#8217;s OneSubsea joint venture entered an agreement with Vår Energi to deliver a subsea production systems work scope, aimed at supporting multiple upcoming oil and gas developments on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
According to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, SLB stock has lost over 15% in the past year.
This collaboration, which builds on an existing strategic subsea partnership, will fast-track subsea developments by leveraging standardized, configurable subsea equipment.
The work begins immediately with the delivery of two key equipment packages that will streamline future project timelines.

The first package consists of a full SPS system, including four vertical subsea trees, wellheads, templates, manifolds, and umbilicals, designed for quick deployment across any of Vår Energi&#8217;s fields.
The second package focuses on the engineering and procurement of a similar SPS system, which will allow for reduced lead times in future developments.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via iShares U.S. Oil Equipment &amp; Services ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEZ#NYSE">IEZ</a>).
Mads Hjelmeland, CEO of SLB OneSubsea, emphasized that this approach simplifies processes and accelerates resource unlocking, demonstrating the strong commitment between the two companies to configurable solutions.
&#8220;This is a significant step forward for our partnership, and we are grateful for our open, collaborative relationship with Vår that now leads to such new ways of creating mutual value for both companies,&#8221; Hjelmeland said.
