From Gates Foundation Trust's 13F filing with the US SEC for the quarter ended 30 Jun 2026, filed 14 Aug 2026. A 13F shows long positions in US-listed stocks and listed options only (no short sales, cash, bonds outside the list or foreign shares) and is filed up to 45 days after the quarter ends, so the portfolio may have changed since. Change = shares now vs the previous quarter (stock splits allowed for). Call and put options are shown at the value of the shares they cover. Information only, not investment advice.

13F reports are due within 45 days of each quarter end: by about 15 February, 15 May, 14 August and 14 November.

What is a 13F filing?

A 13F is a quarterly report that every US investment manager with more than $100 million in US-listed stocks must file with the SEC. It lists the stocks (and listed options) the manager held at the end of the quarter: the number of shares and their value.

How up to date are these holdings?

Managers have up to 45 days after the end of each quarter to file, so a 13F shows the portfolio as it was on the last day of the quarter, six to fifteen weeks before you read it. The investor may have bought or sold since.

Does a 13F show everything an investor owns?

No. It shows long positions in US-listed stocks, ETFs and listed options only. Short sales, cash, most bonds, foreign shares, private companies and other assets are not included, and the SEC can let a manager keep a position confidential for a while.
