Why super-investors own ECL
The Gates Foundation Trust is the story here, holding $1.4B in ECL — roughly 83% of the cohort's combined $1.7B — at a 4.4% portfolio concentration that makes it the dominant conviction holder by a wide margin. Mairs & Power and Thomas Gayner are the other meaningful holders, at 2.1% and 0.6% respectively, while Greenblatt and First Eagle hold negligible weights. Activity in 2026Q1 was entirely flat — no additions, trims, or exits across the six owners. The longer-term ownership trend is worth noting: the cohort count crept up from one to six but the historical eight-quarter series shows the base was two for most of that window, suggesting modest rather than building enthusiasm. Interest appears stable but not expanding.
