The biggest drivers of market outcomes today are the limits policy makers face and how they choose to navigate them. Our CIOs describe this dynamic and how it creates opportunities for investors.
In this videocast, we discuss the key findings from a series of joint research projects by Bridgewater and GIC, including US exceptionalism, artificial intelligence, China’s economy, and more.
Bridgewater's competitive edge is our pioneering workplace culture. We believe meaningful work and meaningful relationships emerge when you assemble high-performing teams and push them to engage in rigorous and thoughtful inquiry.
Because environmental, social, and governance considerations affect how economies are evolving and how markets are priced, we seek a deep understanding of the ESG issues that are pertinent to our investment approach. We also partner with institutional investors seeking to achieve financial outcomes and have environmental and social impacts within large, liquid, multi-asset portfolios.

What We Do

Bridgewater Associates is a premier asset management firm, focused on delivering unique insight and partnership for the most sophisticated global institutional investors.

Our investment process is driven by a tireless pursuit to understand how the world’s markets and economies work — using cutting edge technology to validate and execute on timeless and universal investment principles.

Founded in 1975, we are a community of independent thinkers who share a commitment for excellence. By fostering a culture of openness, transparency, and inclusion, we strive to unlock the most complex questions in investment strategy, management, and corporate culture.
