The top lieutenant at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s global health fund is joining the board of Australia’s Atomo Diagnostics after the fund took an equity position in the medical device company.

But as macroeconomic volatility spikes and a structural housing deficit reshapes private debt demand, sophisticated investors are demanding […]
